The Ortega-Murillo regime has announced it has severed diplomatic relations and
ended official contact with Taiwan, but the sham election on November 7 did not
provide it with any mandate to remove Nicaragua from the family of American demo
cracies. Without the mandate that comes with a free and fair election, Ortega’s
actions cannot reflect the will of the Nicaraguan people, who continue to strug
gle for democracy and the ability to exercise their human rights and fundamental
freedoms. We do know, however, that this deprives Nicaragua’s people of a ste
adfast partner in its democratic and economic growth.
Taiwan’s relationships with diplomatic partners in the Western Hemisphere provi
de significant economic and security benefits to the citizens of those countries
. We encourage all countries that value democratic institutions, transparency, t
he rule of law, and promoting economic prosperity for their citizens to expand e
ngagement with Taiwan.
尼加拉瓜奥蒂嘉政权已经宣布跟台湾断绝外交关系并结束所有的官方接触，但尼加拉瓜在11
月7日的造假选举中， 并没有赋予任何把尼加拉瓜从美国民主家庭中剔除的权力。没有自由
和公平的选举，奥蒂嘉政权的行动就无法反映其人民的意愿，尼加拉瓜人民将继续为了民主
，为了行使人权和基本自由的权力而奋斗下去。我们确实知道，这次断交已让尼加拉瓜人民
在民主和经济成长的过程中失去一个坚实的伙伴。
台湾跟西半球外交伙伴的关系为这些国家的公民提供重要的经济和安全利益。我们鼓励所有
珍惜民主体制、透明度、法治并为其人民致力提升经济繁荣的国家，扩大跟台湾的交流与往
来。
