Nicaragua and China have initiated several measures to strengthen bilateral economic and technical cooperation. The process began with the inauguration of a permanent National Pavilion for Commercial, Tourism, and Cultural Promotion in Wuhan, China. This facility is designed to promote Nicaraguan exports—such as coffee, beef, seafood, sugar, tobacco, cigars, and rum—while facilitating investment opportunities in the Chinese market.

Following this, cooperation expanded into specialized sectors including agriculture, medicine, and education. In the agricultural sector, the ‘Double Hundred Project’ facilitated the delivery of specialized equipment to the Regional University Center in Matagalpa to enhance technical training and technology transfer for coffee professionals. In the medical field, Nicaraguan officials explored partnerships regarding traditional and natural medicine, specifically focusing on acupuncture and non-pharmacological therapies through visits to medical institutions in Tianjin.
