## History

[edit]

In 2013, following civil aviation negotiations in Montreal, Nicaragua and Turkey signed an aviation agreement to create an air connection between Managua and Istanbul.[2] The foreign ministers of both countries met on the sidelines of the UN, and announced that an agreement to deepen economic relations would be signed.[3]

In February 2015, the Nicaraguan and Turkish governments signed a commercial and economic cooperation agreement. It was ratified by the Nicaraguan National Assembly in September 2017.[4][5]

In 2016, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan congratulated Ortega for his re-election, and the Nicaraguan government sent congratulations for the 95th anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish republic.[6]

In 2017, Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega, Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Denis Moncada Colindres, and Economy Minister Orlando Solorzano met with a delegation of Turkish businesspeople in Managua to discuss the deepening of economic relations between the two countries.[7]

In 2018, Ortega sent a message of congratulations to Erdoğan in occasion of the 95th anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish republic.[8]

In September 2021, Turkish foreign minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu met again with his counterpart at the UN.[9] In October, during a visit of a Nicaraguan delegation led by Nicaragua's foreign minister Colindres, the two countries signed an agreement on agriculture and two memoranda of understanding.[10][11] Subsequently, the Turkish government signaled it was opposed to sanctions on Nicaragua, and Colindes stated in the Daily Sabah that the two countries shared a commitment to strengthening international law, defending UN resolutions and the principle non-interference in internal affairs.[12][13]

Nicaragua and Turkey are currently in talks to open embassies in each other's countries.[14]
