The Iranian top diplomat also expressed satisfaction with the development of Tehran-Managua cooperation in different fields including science, technology, and healthcare.
The two countries, enjoying political independence, are trying to establish multilateralism in the current international system, the Iranian foreign minister cited.
Referring to the illegal sanctions imposed on the two countries, Amir-Abdollahian added, "Sanctions are a terrorist tool that imperialism has used to target independent countries."
