Nicaragua’s leftist Sandinista government has formed a political and economic alliance with China, Russia, and Iran, as a counterbalance against constant US meddling in the Central American nation.

All four countries are targeted by illegal Western sanctions and coup attempts. So they have grown closer together in a common struggle against Washington’s aggression.

In December 2021, Nicaragua re-established relations with the People’s Republic of China, and on December 31, 2021, Beijing re-opened its embassy in Managua.

Foreign Minister Denis Moncada said Nicaragua and China are “two peoples who have fought for their national liberation with perseverance,” seeking the “eradication of poverty.”

The Nicaraguan foreign minister said they seek to build a new world “that is multipolar.”

Nicaraguan presidential advisor Laureano Ortega praised China for eliminating extreme poverty and showing how “to advance toward the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist model.”

He also thanked Beijing for giving 2 billion Covid-19 vaccines to some 120 countries, including more than 1 million to Nicaragua.

Right-wing US government-funded media outlets have expressed extreme distress over this growing alliance.

Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega announced at his inauguration on January 10 that the country had signed a series of economic agreements with China.

The most important of these officially incorporates the Central American nation into Beijing’s global Belt and Road Initiative.

President Daniel Ortega said “the United States does not accept that the end of its hegemony is a fact.”
