The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua issued a statement on the 16th announcing the severance of diplomatic relations with Italy on the grounds that Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tajani recently made remarks against the Nicaraguan government as “baseless, aggressive, and irresponsible.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nepal said in a statement that Tayani's remarks “insulted the people and government of Nicaragua” and violated the principle of mutual respect between the country and people. Currently, the Italian government has yet to make an official response to this.
