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.
尼加拉瓜奧蒂嘉政權已經宣布跟台灣斷絕外交關係並結束所有的官方接觸，但尼加拉瓜在11
月7日的造假選舉中， 並沒有賦予任何把尼加拉瓜從美國民主家庭中剔除的權力。沒有自由
和公平的選舉，奧蒂嘉政權的行動就無法反映其人民的意願，尼加拉瓜人民將繼續為了民主
，為了行使人權和基本自由的權力而奮鬥下去。我們確實知道，這次斷交已讓尼加拉瓜人民
在民主和經濟成長的過程中失去一個堅實的夥伴。
台灣跟西半球外交夥伴的關係為這些國家的公民提供重要的經濟和安全利益。我們鼓勵所有
珍惜民主體制、透明度、法治並為其人民致力提升經濟繁榮的國家，擴大跟台灣的交流與往
來。
