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."
