U.S. Seeks to Form Ties With Nicaragua
2006-11-09
The State Department said Wednesday that it looks to establish "positive relations" with the Nicaraguan government of President-elect Daniel Ortega, a former rival who won Sunday's presidential elections. Spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said cooperation with Ortega and his Sandinista colleagues will be "based on their action in support of Nicaragua's democratic future."

Ortega has said he wants to maintain relations with Washington while having it both ways forging closer ties with Cuba and Venezuela. During the campaign, he also projected a far more moderate image compared with his days as a Marxist-Leninist firebrand.
