Nicaraguan foreign minister to arrive in Minsk on Wednesday

Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Samuel Santos Lopez is expected to stay in Belarus between October 29 and 31 on an official visit.

This will be the first visit of a Nicaraguan official of such a high rank in the history of relations between the two countries, noted the press office of the Belarusian foreign ministry.

“The main objective of the visit is to give an impetus to the development of Belarusian-Nicaraguan interstate relations, bring bilateral cooperation to a qualitatively new level, and look for ways of stepping up trade and economic relations and expanding cooperation in the educational and other spheres,” the press office said.

While staying in Belarus, the Nicaraguan foreign minister is to meet with his Belarusian counterpart, Syarhey Martynaw, to hold talks at the Ministry of Education, and to visit the Minsk Tractor Works, the National Library of Belarus and the Khatyn World War II memorial.
