Message: Ecuador Colombia Relations Improve
This is quite encouraging to me. It shows some maturity in their foreign policy instead of the Chavez like rhetoric we get from Correa on occasion. Economically Colombia is a country on the rise so it's nice to see Ecuador improving relations with them along with Chile and Brazil. Hopefully Canada's recent free trade agreements with Peru and Colombia will show Correa that countries can deal with each other in a mutually beneficial ways.
Ecuador, Colombia resume diplomatic ties
Sat Jun 7, 7:20 AM ET
QUITO (AFP) - Ecuador and Colombia have agreed to re-establish low-level diplomatic ties under a deal sponsored by former US president Jimmy Carter, three months after tensions flared between the South American neighbours.
On March 1, the Colombian military attacked a jungle camp belonging to guerrillas from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) inside Ecuadoran territory.
About 20 people were killed, including rebel chief Raul Reyes, four Mexicans and an Ecuadoran.
Both Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa and leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez broke diplomatic ties with Colombia and rushed soldiers to their borders.
Carter has been in telephone conversations with Correa and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, the Atlanta-based Carter Center said in a statement.
The former US president consulted them recently "about the possibility of renewing diplomatic relations between the two countries immediately and without preconditions, initially at the level of charge d'affaires," the statement said.
On Friday "both presidents confirmed their willingness to do so immediately through their respective foreign ministries," the statement added.
The Organization of American States ruled that Colombia's attack was a violation of Ecuador's sovereignty.
