Edwin Castro said that Nicaraguan government is pleased with lifting the unfair sanctions which prepared the ground for improvement of relations with Iran.

Edwin Castro, who also co-chairs Iran-Nicaragua parliamentary friendship group, said that accompanying economic delegation comprising 80 private sector activists and companies directors with the foreign minister was a valuable move by Iran, which will lead to deepening ties between Iran and the Latin American countries.

The MP stressed that Iran is part of world history and nobody can talk about the world history without mentioning to Iran.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif started his Latin American tour on Sunday.

He visited Cuba, Nicaragua and Ecuador so far and will visit Chile, Venezuela and Bolivia in the coming days.
