Ecuadorian President
Calls For Unity Among
Latin American Nations
Ecuadorian President
Rafael Correa on Monday
called for unity among
Latin American nations.
The region must leave
behind the "long night
of neo-liberalism," said
Correa during a meeting
with visiting Argentine
President Cristina
Fernandez.
The time was over when
Latin American nations
were separated, isolated
from each other and
forced into compliance,
he said.
"Latin America is living
a new era with sovereign
governments, dignified,
independent and
progressive," he said.
Meanwhile, Correa called
for the establishment of
a new "regional
financial architecture
in order to banish
forever the defect of
the selfishness,
isolation and
fratricidal competition
for the resources in our
countries."
Correa urged the Latin
American nations to
strive to build a new
financial architecture
"that eliminates the
subordination to the
international financial
organism and that
exceeds the limits of
trade integration."
Correa also thanked
Fernandez for
Argentina's support
during the recent crisis
between Ecuador and
Colombia.
Ecuador broke off
diplomatic relations
with Colombia on March
3after Colombia's army
attacked a rebel base of
the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC)
on Ecuadorian territory
on March 1,which killed
26 people.
