Ahmadinejad, Ortega hold talks in Managua

TEHRAN, Jan. 12 (MNA) – The forces of imperialism and hegemonistic powers are making some moves which indicate they are desperate in the face of nations’ awakening, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a meeting with his Nicaraguan counterpart Daniel Ortega in Managua on Tuesday. However, the nations should always be vigilant against the hegemonistic powers’ rash actions, he stated. He also said that experience has shown that whenever the domineering powers face defeat, they immediately change their masks and pursue their imperialist objectives again behind their new masks. Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadinejad called for consolidation of Iran-Nicaragua relations and said the Islamic Revolution and the Nicaraguan Revolution (both occurred in 1979) are moving in the same direction to the benefit of the two nations. He also emphasized the necessity to cement Tehran-Managua ties and said the Islamic Republic is keen to share its experiences with the revolutionary nation of Nicaragua and provide them with required facilities to help promote ties.
