Nicaragua abolished all forms of exploitation and slavery during the country's period of independence, President Daniel Ortega said on Friday during his speech at the G77+China summit, adding that he would not waiver of his principles.

"The enemy [Global North] wants to control our land and impose its hegemony on the entire world, and behold it confronting China violently because it stands against [its] hegemony," the President told the audience, recalling the pivotal and historical role played by Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro in shaping today's Global South reality.

Ortega emphasized that Beijing's approach is aimed at fostering development and improving the well-being of people, adding that China engages with Asian, African, and Latin American nations not to enforce sanctions but to actively contribute to their advancement and prosperity.

The Nicaraguan President emphasized that the G77+China group intends to cooperate and solidify its unity, affirming that nations are striving to achieve their goals and turn intentions into tangible steps.

In addition to addressing political challenges, he also called for the development of a roadmap that would allow the countries of the South to face challenging economic conditions. Ortega argued that the prevailing principles of neoliberalism affect the behavior of societies and should be confronted.

Moreover, Ortega firmly rejected all policies violating the sovereignty of countries, citing Western-led coercive measures against Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. He made it clear that the threats faced by these countries should not be accepted.

The Nicaraguan leader went on to praise President Maduro's courageous stance against the violation of Southern countries' sovereignty and added, "When we make joint efforts, we can confront all challenges."

Ortega concluded by highlighting the importance of respecting the rights of others to avoid conflicts between nations. He emphasized that this Summit should lead to the development of a comprehensive roadmap for presenting the collective goals of Southern countries to the United Nations General Assembly UNGA.
