MANAGUA, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Nicaragua and Iran signed "important agreements," said Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega on Wednesday, adding that Nicaragua is ready to send a delegation to Iran for the implementation of the documents.
Ortega and his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi attended the signing ceremony at the Olof Palme Convention Center in Managua.
The agreements include three memoranda, which cover the creation of a mixed intergovernmental commission on trade and economic cooperation and scientific and technical exchange, as well as cooperation in the fields of justice and healthcare sector including pharmaceutical and laboratory medicines, medical equipment and supplies.
Speaking highly of Raisi's visit to Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba, Ortega said the three peoples are most committed to the fight to defend the sovereignty and integration of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Raisi started his five-day Latin American trip on Sunday. ■
