Last night at 7pm, President Leonel Fernandez returned from his trip to Nicaragua where he attended the inauguration of President Daniel Ortega. During his visit to Nicaragua, President Fernandez met personally with Ortega and they both discussed strategies for reducing poverty. It is also reported that Ortega asked for Fernandez's opinion on Nicaragua's energy issues, mentioning that Nicaragua and the DR have similar power distribution problems. Union Fenosa is a major player in Nicaragua, as it was in the DR. Both leaders promised to strengthen ties between their countries.
In Nicaragua, President Fernandez also met with Taiwan President Chen Shui-Bian and discussed the ongoing free trade agreement with Taiwan.
Press reports indicate that once he landed, Fernandez briefly greeted some government officials, and was then whisked back to the Presidential Palace. Unfortunately not all was picture-perfect for Fernandez's return. Two members of the presidential press corps were injured after the vehicle they were traveling in crashed on the San Isidro Highway. Neither Ramon Ademas Cordero nor Roberto Romero were seriously injured.
