In Nicaragua, 2012 was marked by President Ortega’s investiture on 10 January 2012, for his third consecutive five-year term following his re-election in November 2011 with 62 % of the popular vote. In terms of development cooperation relations, the eighth Partnership Commission between the two countries, held in Managua on 21 March 2012, highlighted advances in the implementation of the 3rd ICP (2011-2014). Luxembourg’s Honorary Consul in Nicaragua participated in the creation of the Luxembourg-Central American Chamber of Commerce based in Panama.
