Nicaragua reaffirms commitment to just causes at ALBA-TCP meeting

United Nations, Sep 26 (Prensa Latina) Nicaragua's Foreign Minister, Valdrack Jaentschke, has reaffirmed at the UN headquarters his country's unwavering commitment to just causes and the fight against imperial imposition.

Speaking at the Political Council of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) the foreign minister said that humanity is going through critical times.

These are the times of a new history and the emergence of a more just, collective and supportive world; “and like all births, the birth of this new multipolar world order without hegemony that is imposed, is hard, difficult and painful.”

According to the minister, these are also very dangerous times for humanity in which the dignified, free and sovereign peoples of the planet face old and new forms of aggression.

“The rifles and gunboats of the past are reborn in new forms of aggression euphemistically called sanctions; they are the same military interventions and interferences perpetuated by the Yankee empire in the 19th and 20th centuries against dignified peoples who fight for independence and self-determination,” he emphasized.

Jaentschke expressed Nicaragua’s solidarity with Venezuela, besieged, coveted and attacked, and described its people as noble, whose only sin – he noted – has been to have a dignified voice and to share unconditionally with the poor and needy what God gave them by nature.

When referring to Cuba, he recalled that the Caribbean nation has faced the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States for more than six decades.

He added that the island also faces the imperial arrogance of including it in the list of terrorism, when Cuba is “one of the most loving and defending nations of peace, promoter of peaceful understanding, whose immense solidarity and love for one’s neighbor is recognized by the peoples of the world.”

He described ALBA-TCP as vital and a tool to safeguard peace and keep the voice of dignity of Latin America and the Caribbean loud and clear.
