Managua, May 19 (RHC)-- The president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, has urged the world to consolidate world peace now in the scenario of the humanitarian and economic shocks left by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Peace will allow us to have better conditions to face the economic challenges, to fight the battle against the pandemic," emphasized Ortega.  The Nicaraguan president pointed out that authorities of the Central American country base their international relations in favor of stability and world peace.  

"We have spoken out for peace in Colombia, in Israel, in Palestine, that the agreements be respected and that the territory be returned to Palestine as stipulated in the agreements, and we advocate for peace in Venezuela," he added.

"Today we are fighting against a pandemic that is difficult to know the limits it has.  It is now being said that the incidence is decreasing, but then measures are taken again because the incidence worsened," said the president of Nicaragua. 

Daniel Ortega asked his counterparts around the world for greater solidarity, saying: "There is no global policy where developed countries agree with developing countries to strengthen the countries that have more weaknesses," he added. 

Alluding to international solidarity, President Ortega recognized the work of the Cuban medical brigades, which are present in remote places to help millions of human beings in the context of the pandemic.

"Cuban medical brigades reach areas where brigades from developed countries do not arrive.  And in spite of Cuba's solidarity, the blockade is maintained with the same vigor against the island."
