Minister Moncada added that Nicaragua recognizes Russia in its struggle for peace and security in the world, which everyone must defend from the threats of empires and their neo-Nazi policies.
In his speech, he demanded respect for the United Nations system so that it may recover its founding values.
He mentioned the agreements of the Group of 77+China Summit held in Cuba and recommended taking them into consideration so that nations break the chains of slavery, dependence, subjugation, and subordination.
The Nicaraguan Foreign Minister also mentioned the recent meeting of the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), whose membership has now increased. He stated that BRICS represents new forces for the struggles for economic and financial sovereignty as free and capable peoples.
