Fortunately, in February 1990 Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, the wife of the late publisher, was elected president, and afterward the country began to gain greater international cooperation and significantly decrease its foreign debt, as well as frequently hosting international conferences, increasing the country's prestige. Nicaragua was finally embarking upon the task of rebuilding.
所幸在一九九○年二月起，查莫洛夫人當選新任總統後，爭取國際認同，大量減免外債，並經常召開國際會議，提高尼國聲望，尼加拉瓜終於開始邁入重建工作。
