Brazil Satisfied
With Progress of
Colombia-Ecuador Ties
BRASILIA - Brazil welcomed
the easing of tensions and improved
relations between Colombia and Ecuador, the
Brazilian government said in an official
statement Thursday.
The Brazilian Ministry of External Relations
expressed its satisfaction with Colombia and
Ecuador's agreement that they would name
respective charges d'affaires before Nov.
15, as a step toward re-establishing
diplomatic ties.
"In congratulating both governments, Brazil
urges both countries to continue working
towards fully resuming bilateral relations,"
the statement said.
Colombia and Ecuador broke off diplomatic
relations in March 2008, after the Colombian
military entered Ecuadorian territory in an
operation against the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Diplomats from both countries met on Tuesday
in a northern Ecuadorian town, and agreed to
designate charges d'affaires over the next
two weeks.
The charge d'affaires heads each embassy's
mission in the absence of an ambassador.
