Correa turns the page on crisis with Colombia

Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa Tuesday said a diplomatic crisis between Ecuador and Colombia was "overcome," after the Organization of American States (OAS) issued a resolution rejecting a Colombian military incursion in Ecuadorian territory -an attack where the second highest-ranking leader of the rebel Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), Raúl Reyes, was killed.

According to AP, during a ceremony in the Ecuadorian palace of government, Correa stated that the resolution the OAS meeting of Foreign Ministers adopted "put together all of the aspirations of Ecuador."

"The principles of inviolability of a State territory and inviolability of the sovereignty are ratified as valid. It (the resolution) includes Colombia's apologies with no extenuating circumstances, and its promise not to commit any aggression again."

Correa reminded that a similar resolution was adopted last March 7 in the Rio Summit, held in the Dominican Republic.

"We are therefore considering that this huge crisis has been overcome, but I insist it would have been better if this had never happened."
