Nicaragua supports Russia’s relationship with SICA and CELAC
«We highly value the support of the Nicaraguan side, in our promotion of our relations with the integration organizations of Latin America, especially CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) and SICA (Central American Integration System),» Lavrov stressed.
