Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Ossetia Dmitry Medoev sent a message to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Nicaragua, Mr. Denis Ronaldo Moncada Colindres, on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of the recognition of independence by the Republic of Nicaragua.
"The date of September 3, 2008 will forever remain in the historical memory of the people of South Ossetia as a symbol of sincere support, justice and solidarity," the message says. On this day, 13 years ago, Tskhinval, still recovering from the horrors of the war, received with great gratitude the news of the brave decision of Commander Daniel Ortega to recognize the sovereignty and independence of South Ossetia. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of this event for our people, who through the centuries, through the distances, will remember the priceless gift from a distant Nicaraguan Friend."
Sincerely cherishing the level of the existing bilateral interstate relations, Medoev noted, people of South Ossetia are grateful to the leadership and people of Nicaragua for the invariably firm support of our country's positions in the international arena.
The Foreign Minister is convinced that the further fruitful development of bilateral friendly relations between South Ossetia and Nicaragua will contribute to the rapprochement of peoples, the development of mutual respect for cultural and historical traditions, solidarity in opposition to the apologists of a unipolar world order.
