Unasur "Strengthened"
Even Without
Agreement: Ecuadorian FM
Quito - The Ecuadorian
foreign minister said Wednesday the Union of
South American Nations (Unasur) was
"strengthened" even though the Tuesday
meeting of defense and foreign ministers
produced no agreement.
"The challenge continues...and this
multilateral mechanism, in one way or
another, was strengthened as it was possible
to work in an open, frank way with
constructive dialogue," Fander Falconi said.
Like in other areas, the Unasur is in a
"process" to achieve consensus on security
issues, Falconi said.
Unasur foreign and defense ministers met on
Tuesday to discuss ways to reduce the
military tension in the region due to the
Colombia-U.S. military cooperation agreement
and Venezuela's decision to buy Russian
weapons.
However, the meeting yielded no agreement
due partially to reservations from Colombia
after a dispute between Washington and
Caracas over military deals in the region.
