He added that Russia would continue its humanitarian aid to Nicaragua.

The Nicaraguan leader, Daniel Ortega, said, in his turn, that the two states are also set to boost efforts against drug trafficking and organized crime.

"We have military and technical cooperation to jointly strengthen the potential of our army and police in fighting against drug trafficking and organized crime," he said.
