Nicaragua Interested in Joining BRICS to Promote Multipolar World, Unity - Top Diplomat
06:17 GMT 29.06.2023 (Updated: 06:29 GMT 29.06.2023) UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik), Lenka White - Nicaragua is interested in joining BRICS because the bloc promotes a multipolar order and a stronger unity among developing nations, Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Denis Moncada told Sputnik.
"Nicaragua has already expressed its interest in joining BRICS. It’s logical because it's a new way, new world, where developing countries can have better unity and have better development, a better world, a multipolar world," Denis Moncada said.
Managua and Moscow are having conversations with respect to conducting trade in national currencies, including when paying for Russian wheat, Denis Moncada told.
"It's a topic [switching to national currencies] of conversations that is universal among friends that are fighting against US hegemony. These are necessary discussions. This mess started conversations that we're sustaining among our representatives and our banking representatives," Moncada said.
The foreign minister also said
Nicaragua would like to pay for Russian wheat in either rubles or cordoba.
In April, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited Nicaragua as part of his Latin American tour.
Managua considers the sabotage on the Nord Stream pipeline an act of state terrorism by the West, Moncada said.
"This is a very clear instance of a terrorist act by countries that are enemies of the Russian Federation," Moncada said. "The government of Nicaragua clearly opposes these western attempts to practice state terrorism. And we really believe in the sovereignty of countries."
"It's very clear, which countries execute these acts - the NATO, the USA, their allies - against the countries that are trying to defend their security and severity," Moncada said.
Denmark, Germany and Norway have left Russia out of their investigations into the attack, prompting Moscow to launch its own investigation of charges of international terrorism.
The Nord Stream pipelines, built to deliver gas under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, were hit by explosions in September 2022. The pipeline's operator, Nord Stream AG, said that the damage was unprecedented and it was impossible to estimate the time repairs might take.
