Ortega Calls to Unite Central America

Managua, Dec 7 (Prensa Latina) 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.
