January 10, 2007

The message reads in particular:

“Traditional relations of friendship have always been the foundation for the development of an equal dialogue between our states. We value your sincere desire to boost bilateral cooperation on the basis of our positive achievements of the past years. For our part, we are prepared to carry on constructive efforts to attain our immediate goals, notably to expand trade, resume economic, research, technological and cultural partnership, and strengthen the relevant legislation.

“We intend to promote constructive contacts with Nicaragua on the key issues of the global and regional agendas. In our opinion, closer cooperation in the struggle against modern challenges and threats, such as international terrorism, organized crime and drug trafficking, meets the common interests of our countries and peoples.

“I am convinced that our concerted efforts will ensure progress in all spheres of Russian-Nicaraguan relations.”

Sergei Stepashin, chairman of the Russian Audit Chamber, presented the letter at the inauguration ceremony.
