Ortega and his delegation are this year’s special guests to the independence celebrations. The president has been invited to address the nation at the official ceremonies on Friday morning and give support to Belize sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Back in 1981, Ortega, as leader of the Sandinista Movement of Nicaragua, joined other leaders in Central America in support of the independence of Belize. The President has visited Belize on two previous occasions this year when Belize held the presidency pro-tempore of SICA, the Central American Integration System.
The president will meet with prime minister, Said Musa, and other government officials during his stay in Belize. |
