Compañero Mahmoud Abbas President State of Palestine

Dear Brother:

In honor of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, on behalf of the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity, our Vice President Rosario Murillo, the Sandinista National Liberation Front, the People of , and myself, today more than ever, we reiterate to you and the Heroic Palestinian People our most sincere Solidarity, ratifying our full support in your Just Struggle for Freedom and for the exercise of your inalienable Right to self-determination, with the creation of the Palestinian State, based on the borders prior to June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its Capital.

We reject the policies of annexation and unilateral actions that are obstacles for the two-state solution, to live in Peace and Security.

1 This past July 22nd was the 40th anniversary of the historic visit of Comandante Yasser Arafat to Nicaragua, and the official establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the Brotherly People of Palestine and Nicaragua. These are many decades of being on this journey together, in the Struggle for Freedom and the Conquest of the Inalienable Rights of our Peoples, with solidarity and brotherhood.

We reiterate our desire to strengthen every day these ties that unite us, in the development of greater Bilateral Cooperation and Trade between our Countries, and in the struggle to achieve Independence, Peace and Prosperity for our Peoples.

Nicaragua is convinced that there will be no Peace or Stability in the Middle East until the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People are resolved, in accordance with the relevant United Nations Resolutions and the wishes of the Peace-loving Peoples.

We call for intensified efforts by the International Community to culminate in the creation of the Palestinian State, ensuring a Just and Lasting Peace in the Middle East.

2 With the Love and Affection of Always, we reiterate our Fraternal Greetings, with the certainty that our Brotherly Peoples, will continue through Time to strengthen those Fraternal and Revolutionary Ties that have united our wills for a Better World.

Daniel Ortega Saavedra Rosario Murillo
