In brief: Nicaragua

* Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega has announced six new development projects financed by Taiwan (although he failed to specify the levels of investment). These include an initiative aimed at promoting technology to improve fish farming; the creation of a mariculture centre to improve fish farming techniques in coastal areas; production centres for healthy plants and fruit; an initiative to develop trade and promotion of agricultural products; a project that seeks to establish local distinct products which would appeal to tourists; and an initiative which would monitor changes in soil in vulnerable areas. In Central America, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala continue to have diplomatic links with Taiwan while Costa Rica, Panama, and El Salvador have severed them in favour of mainland China.
