Nicaragua's Ortega receives Iran's Raisi in Managua

Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega welcomed his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi in Managua.

Raisi began a rare diplomatic tour of Latin America on Monday with a first stop in Caracas, and his schedule is also set to include a visit to Cuba. Part of the reason of Raisi's trip was to increase trade between the two countries. The two leaders announced that they signed 25 accords, across sectors ranging from education and health to mining.
