Ortega apologizes

When speaking with Taiwanese community leaders in Nicaragua, Ortega reiterated his country's friendship with Taiwan and its determination to support Taiwan's efforts to be integrated into the international community.

He said that Taiwan's 23 million people should not be excluded from important international organizations such as the United Nations.

Based on solid relations between the two countries, Nicaragua and Taiwan will further bolster bilateral exchanges, particularly in the fields of trade, agriculture and education, Ortega stressed.

He welcomed Ma's proposal, made earlier in the day, to have Nicaraguan students to pursue advanced studies in Taiwan, and Nicaraguan citizens to receive vocational training in Taiwan.

“This is very good method to strengthen cultural exchanges between the two countries,” Ortega said.

He also praised Ma's “modus vivendi” diplomatic approach and “diplomatic truce” concept in dealing with China, saying it has resulted in improved relations across the Taiwan Strait and contributed to regional stability.

He lauded the contributions that Taiwanese expatriates have made to Nicaragua. He said that ethnic Chinese immigrants in Nicaragua, whether from Taiwan or China, are all Nicaraguan citizens and have all made valuable contributions to Nicaragua's development.
