MOSCOW (Sputnik) - A direct sea shipping route between Nicaragua and China was opened this week, marked by the arrival of a Chinese merchant ship at the Pacific port of Corinto, Nicaraguan media reported.
Nicaraguan Presidential Investment Adviser Laureano Ortega was quoted as saying on Thursday by TN8 television channel that the arrival of the TN8 Sunny Fortune bulk carrier was good news for the Central American nation.
"The arrival of this ship brings two good news. Firstly, the opening of this direct route, and secondly, it brought us equipment to start another project that will strengthen us as a logistics platform," Ortega said.
