Nicaraguan FM Addresses Honduran Political
Crisis at UN
UN - Nicaragua's foreign minister, Samuel
Santos Lopez, has addressed the political
crisis in neighboring Honduras, condemning
the removal of President Manuel Zelaya and
expressing unconditional support for the
deposed government.
Speaking to the United Nations General
Assembly in New York, Lopez urged the U.N.
body to be aware that there are plans to
assassinate Mr. Zelaya. He did not elaborate
on the alleged plots.
The foreign minister vowed not to recognize
the results of what he called "any electoral
farce" in Honduras. He called for the
establishment of real democracy in the
Central American nation.
Separately, the foreign minister of
Indonesia, Hassan Wirajuda, promoted
democratic reforms during his speech to the
U.N. He said the main cause of the world's
economic, climate, food and energy crises
was a failure to form a system of democratic
governance at the global level.
He called for a new spirit of
multilateralism and hailed steps taken at
the summit of the Group of 20 largest
economies to involve developing nations in
international decision-making. Indonesia is
part of the G20.
Other speakers Tuesday included the foreign
ministers of Norway, Grenada and Papua New
Guinea, as well as representatives of
Moldova and Djibouti. |
