MANAGUA, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- Honduran post-coup leader Roberto Micheletti said Wednesday he wishes to shake hands with Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega who hosts ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.

Micheletti, former president of the Honduran Congress, was appointed president after the June 28 coup that exiled President Zelaya.

Micheletti said that he respected Ortega and wanted to talk with him because "the Central American (people) are brothers," though he does not share Oretega's political view.

Micheletti made the remarks on the Nicaraguan radio station 15 de septiembre, owned by Enrique Quinonez, deputy head of the Nicaraguan Constitutionalist Liberal Party. .
