China has reopened its embassy in Nicaragua, a few weeks after the Central American country switched diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to Beijing.
Speaking at a ceremony marking the reopening of the embassy, Nicaraguan Foreign Minister, Denis Moncada, said he believes that both countries have a future of successes and victories in their brotherly relations.
The announcement three weeks ago leaves Taiwan with just 14 diplomatic allies, even as Taipei strengthens ties with multiple unofficial Western friends.
