Ortega Calls to Unite
Central America
Nicaraguan President
Daniel Ortega called for
the peoples of Central
America to unite to
achieve Central American
integration.
During a news conference
Friday with Guatemalan
President-elect Alvaro
Colon, who arrived today
in Nicaragua, Ortega
repeated his promise to
"fight for the unity of
the Central American
peoples, so with that
unity we become
integrated."
The Nicaraguan president
urged a common
confrontation to "the
challenges of poverty
and so that this global
economy becomes a fair
commerce, with honorable
relations in the world."
Colon, who will be
inaugurated on January
14, said he will work
with the other regional
nations to construct a
united Central America,
emphasizing one far from
drug traffic and
organized crime.
Ortega confirmed his
attendance at the sixth
ALBA Summit (Bolivarian
Alternative for the
Americas) in Caracas on
December 16 and 17, and
said he will inaugurate
a refinery in Cuba on
the 20 and 21 of this
month. |
