The Russian-Nicaraguan intergovernmental commission will meet Tuesday in the Nicaraguan capital Managua for the first time in 18 years, the Russian ambassador said.
Igor Kondrashev said the resumption of the commission's activity testified to the countries "reaching a new level of bilateral ties."
Kondrashev said the countries have a number of strategic projects that need consideration and coordination, which, he said, is impossible without the commission's work.
The projects, the diplomat said, concern the energy sphere and state of the art technology, health care, transport, fishery and agriculture.
He said an information network of the fourth generation, built by a joint enterprise, will be put into commercial operation July 1.
"Nicaragua will be the first country in Latin America to obtain a state of the art telecommunications network," Kondrashev said.
