Taipei Times reports that Nicaragua has asked Taiwan for cancellation of its foreign debt. This seems to be the "facts behind the rumors" after Nicaragua denied it had specifically asked for it.

Simon Ko (柯森耀), director-general of MOFA's Department of Central and South American Affairs, made the remarks in response to reporters' questions on a report by the Chinese-language China Times and the United Daily News yesterday saying Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Samuel Santos had asked Taiwan to cancel its foreign debt of about US$16.5 million as a condition to maintaining bilateral diplomatic relations.

Taiwan sure is raping and pillaging the shark population in Costa Rica. Perhaps a forgiveness of debt will be arranged for fishing direchos. Sharks are not important to the ecosystem anyway, are they?
