Lawmakers from Nicaragua will definitely take part in it. We have received confirmation today," Lavrov told journalists.
The Russian foreign minister further indicated that his Nicaraguan counterpart Denis Moncada had accepted an official invitation to visit Russia.

Lavrov noted that Moscow welcomes the intensive development of ties between the regions of Nicaragua and Russia.
Also highlighted during the meeting are plans to hold another round of talks on the sidelines of the 26th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) in June, at which officials intend to talk on trade and economic cooperation.
