International disputes [ edit ]

Main article: Territorial disputes of Nicaragua

Territorial disputes with Colombia over the Archipelago de San Andres y Providencia and Quita Sueno
Bank with respect to the maritime boundary question in the Golfo de Fonseca. The ICJ referred to the line
determined by the 1900 Honduras-Nicaragua Mixed Boundary Commission and advised that some
tripartite resolution among El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua likely would be required;
Maritime boundary dispute with Honduras in the Caribbean Sea.
Nicaragua is sovereign over the Rio San Juan, and by treaty Costa Rica has the right to navigate over
part of the river with 'objects of commerce'. A dispute emerged when Costa Rica tried to navigate with
armed members of its security forces.

International relations with intergovernmental organizations and


countries [ edit ]
Nicaragua signed a 3-year Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) with the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) in October 2007. As part of the IMF program, the Government of Nicaragua agreed to implement
free market policies linked to targets on fiscal discipline, poverty spending, and energy regulation. The lack of
transparency surrounding Venezuelan bilateral assistance, channeled through state-run enterprises rather
than the official budget, has become a serious issue for the IMF and international donors. On September 10,
2008, with misgivings about fiscal transparency, the IMF released an additional $30 million to Nicaragua, the
second tranche of its $110 million PRGF.[1]

The flawed municipal elections of November 2008 prompted a number of European donors to suspend direct
budget support to Nicaragua, a move that created a severe budget shortfall for the government. This shortfall,
in turn, caused the Government of Nicaragua to fall out of compliance with its PRGF obligations and led to a
suspension of PRGF disbursements. The IMF is currently in negotiations with the Government of Nicaragua
to reinstate disbursements.[1]

Under current president Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua has stayed current with the Central American-Dominican
Republic Free Trade Agreement, which entered into force for Nicaragua on April 1, 2006. Nicaragua exports
to the United States, which account for 59% of Nicaragua's total exports, were $1.7 billion in 2008, up 45%
from 2005. Textiles and apparel account for 55% of exports to the United States, while automobile wiring
harnesses add another 11%.[1]

Other leading export products are coffee, meat, cigars, sugar, ethanol, and fresh fruit and vegetables, all of
which have seen remarkable growth since CAFTA-DR went into effect. Leading Nicaraguan exports also
demonstrated increased diversity, with 274 new products shipped to the United States in the first year. U.S.
exports to Nicaragua, meanwhile, were $1.1 billion in 2008, up 23% from 2005. Other important trading
partners for Nicaragua are its Central American neighbors, Mexico, and the European Union. Nicaragua is
negotiating a trade agreement with the European Union as part of a Central American bloc.[1]

Despite important protections for investment included in CAFTA-DR, the investment climate has become
relatively insecure since Ortega took office. According to the United States State Department, President
Ortega's decision to support "radical regimes" such as Iran and Cuba, his harsh rhetoric against the United
States and capitalism, and his use of government institutions to persecute political enemies and their
businesses, has had a negative effect on perceptions of country risk, which by some accounts has
quadrupled since he assumed office. The government reports foreign investment inflows totaled $506 million
in 2008, including $123 million in telecommunications infrastructure and $120 million in energy generation.[1]

There are over 100 companies operating in Nicaragua with some relation to a U.S. company, either as wholly
or partly owned subsidiaries, franchisees, or exclusive distributors of U.S. products. The largest are in energy,
financial services, textiles/apparel, manufacturing, and fisheries. However, many companies in the
textile/apparel sector, including a $100 million U.S.-owned denim mill, had shuttered by 2017.[1]

Poor enforcement of property rights deters both foreign and domestic investment, especially in real estate
development and tourism. Conflicting claims and weak enforcement of property rights has invited property
disputes and litigation. Establishing verifiable title history is often entangled in legalities relating to the
expropriation of 28,000 properties by the revolutionary government that Ortega led in the 1980s. The situation
is not helped by a court system that is widely believed to be corrupt and subject to political influence.[1]

Illegal property seizures by private parties, occasionally in collaboration with corrupt municipal officials, often
go unchallenged by the authorities, especially in the Atlantic regions and interior regions of the north, where
property rights are poorly defined and rule of law is weak. Foreign investor interest along the Pacific Coast
has motivated some unscrupulous people to challenge ownership rights in the Departments of Rivas and
Chinandega, with the hope of achieving some sort of cash settlement.[1]

In October 2022, the European Union declared the Nicaraguan representative Zoila Müller non grata.[2]

China 1985 (With See China–Nicaragua relations


the People's Nicaragua established diplomatic relations of the nationalist government of
Republic of Republican China in 1930 but maintained relations after the central
China)[97] government of the Republic of China retreated to Taiwan after declaring the
establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. After the
Sandinista National Liberation Front took power in 1979, Nicaragua
recognized the PRC on 7 December 1985 until 9 November 1990 when
FSLN was defeated and resumed relations with the ROC, which continued
under Daniel Ortega's presidency since 2007. On 9 December 2021,
Nicaragua resumed relations with the PRC.[98]

Colombia See Colombia–Nicaragua relations

The relationship between the two Latin American countries has evolved
amid conflicts over the San Andrés y Providencia Islands located in the
Caribbean close to the Nicaraguan shoreline and the maritime boundaries
covering 150,000 km2 that included the islands of San Andres, Providencia
and Santa Catalina and the banks of Roncador, Serrana, Serranilla and
Quitasueño as well as the arbitrarily designed 82nd meridian west which
Colombia claims as a border but which the International Court has sided
with Nicaragua in disavowing.[99] The archipelago has been under
Colombian control since 1931 when a treaty was signed during US
occupation of Nicaragua, giving Colombia control over the islands.

Denmark See Denmark–Nicaragua relations

Finland See Finland–Nicaragua relations

Finland is a significant donor of aid to Nicaragua. In 2007, total aid


amounted to around EUR 14.5 million. The cooperation focused on rural
development, health care and supporting local government.[100] In 1992, the
Finnish government announced an aid program of US$27.4 million.[101]

In 2006, the Finnish government pledged 4.9 million euros to help the
Nicaraguan government integrate the ICT systems of 20 town councils.[102]
In 2008, the Finnish government revoked a 1.95 million euro aid package
meant for Nicaragua in protest of what it alleged was a lack of transparency
in Nicaragua's national budget and its municipal elections.[103]

In 2004, Finnish President Tarja Halonen visited Nicaragua[104] where she


stated "The Finnish government and Parliament have decided that
Nicaragua is one of the main targets of Finnish development aid. However,
the visit has shown that Finland is not only giving money – it is also
interested in what is happening here".[105] The Finnish President also made
a speech to the National Assembly of Nicaragua on 31 May 2004.[106] In
2003, the two countries signed the Agreement for the Promotion and
Reciprocal Protection of Investments>

In February 2012, Finland made decision to stop development aid to


Nicaragua. The main reason was concern over the state of the democracy in
Nicaragua.[107]

Israel Israel was the last country that still shipped weapons to the embattled
Anastacio Somoza regime in 1978–1979 (the dictator's father had supported
Israel in 1948, establishing a "special relationship" between Nicaragua and
Israel), becoming the regime's main supplier of arms, after the Carter
administration had cut off supplies amid the public outcry over Somozista
troops' atrocities.[114] This soured the relations with the -Sandinista
government; the relations were then gradually normalized. In March 2017,
Nicaragua and Israel reestablished diplomatic relations after they were
suspended in 2010.[115]

Nicaragua recognized Abkhazia[127] and South Ossetia[128] on September 5,


2008.

At a press conference in November 2008, Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Samuel


Santos López said, "Certainly, we think that the decision [to recognize
Abkhazia independent Abkhazia and South Ossetia] was fair and appropriate. They [the
republics] must be given time for inner formalities. We will coordinate the
possibility and terms of direct diplomatic relations at a convenient moment.

from other countries involved in the dispute over the status of South Ossetia.
Georgia responded to Nicaragua's concurrent recognition of Abkhazia and
South Ossetia by cutting diplomatic relations with the Central American state at
the end of November 2008.[132] Russia offered to strengthen ties with
Nicaragua and to provide aid to Nicaragua to help rebuild areas damaged by
hurricanes.[133] The U.S. Secretary of Commerce canceled a planned trip to
Nicaragua, with the U.S. Ambassador in Managua saying, "It isn't the
