MANAGUA - Nicaragua and Cuba officially restored their diplomatic
relations on Tuesday.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega accepted the credentials from new
Cuban Ambassador Luis Hernandez Ojeda, marking the formal restoration of
the ties between the two countries.

Speaking at a ceremony, Ortega said that Nicaragua and Cuba have
dispatched ambassadors to each other's countries and that they would
strengthen their brotherly friendship and solidarity.

Pledging support for Cuba in future international conferences, the
Nicaraguan president asked the international community to respect the
human rights of the Cuban people, and asked the United States to end its
economic embargoes against the Caribbean country.

Relations between Cuba and Nicaragua were downgraded to the charge
d'affaires level in the mid-1990s. Ortega announced to restore
diplomatic relations with Cuba after he took office as president of the
Central American country in January.
