At the first OAS foreign ministers meeting in seven years, diplomats jointly called for Nicaragua to restore civil liberties after its government banned opposition participation in elections. The US, represented by Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau, highlighted concerns over Nicaragua's ties with Russia and China and its impact on regional security. Nicaragua left the OAS in 2023, citing US interventionism. OAS Secretary-General Albert Ramdin emphasized the need for actions beyond verbal condemnation of human rights abuses.
