The Iranian diplomat invited his Nicaraguan counterpart to pay a visit to Tehran and said, "Fortunately, political relations between the two countries are in a good status and I hope that we will be able to further expand economic cooperation in the near future."
He offered congratulations over the victory of Daniel Ortega and his Sandinista alliance in the November presidential election in Nicaragua and said Iran is ready to further expand mutual relations with Managua.
Amir-Abdollahian said the participation of Iranian Vice President for Economic Affairs Mohsen Rezaei in Ortega's swearing-in ceremony showed attaches great significance to the deepening of ties with Nicaragua and other Latin American states.
Ortega overwhelmingly won the November 7 presidential election, clinching a fourth consecutive term. He has been sworn in as the Nicaraguan President on January 11, only hours after the US and European Union imposed fresh sanctions on several figures in his government.
