Foreign Policy

Nicaragua positions itself as an anti-imperialist state, opposing US hegemony and Western interventionism. It maintains close ties with Cuba, Venezuela (through ALBA and Petrocaribe), Russia, Iran, and China. Nicaragua recognised Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Crimea's annexation, aligning with Russia on these issues.

Nicaragua withdrew from the OAS in 2022, citing interference in internal affairs. It uses the ICJ's 1986 ruling as a cornerstone argument for sovereignty and non-intervention in multilateral forums.
