The people’s congress system is closely connected with the people, and long-term planning strongly promotes local development.
In addition to agriculture, the two sides can learn from each other in environmental protection, culture and sports, and industrial development.
We hope more Nicaraguan products such as coffee, seafood and meat can enter the Chinese market.
