Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs has plans to visit Ecuador this week to tighten bilateral ties, Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño twitted on Monday, Efe quoted.

Last January 18, Jaua, the Venezuelan ex Vice-President, welcomed Patiño in Caracas. On that occasion, Jaua also met with his Colombian counterpart María Ángela Holguín.

Holguín and Patiño visited Jaua to emphasize their support in view of the illness suffered by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, who prevented him from being sworn-in for a new term in office beginning January 10.

The adjournment was endorsed by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) in a controversial ruling.

Nevertheless, as it is already known, President Maduro changed his mind.
