20OCT2022 #Ecuador - "A delegation of United States senators promised today to deepen US cooperation with Ecuador in security matters and generate the legal framework to increase trade between the two countries.
After beginning their visit to Ecuador with a meeting of nearly two hours with President Lasso, the senators indicated that upon their return to the United States they will attend to the Ecuadorian president's request to increase aid to combat drug trafficking and transnational organized crime.
The delegation is headed by Republican Robert Menéndez, chairman of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and is completed by Democrats Ben Cardin and Ben Sasse; as well as fellow Republicans Rob Portman and Richard Burr. Speaking to journalists,
Menéndez said that he hopes that in November a bill between the United States and Ecuador will go ahead, which awaits a final vote in the US Senate and which aims to strengthen the bilateral relationship.
Said law intends to strengthen economic and commercial ties between the two countries, the promotion of the so-called "inclusive economic development,"
the fight against illicit economies, corruption and "negative foreign influence." Ecuador's Ambassador to the US, Ivonne Baki, was with the US delegation." - Photo courtesy: Guillermo Lasso-

SUN 05OCT25 (11:03) #ParoDay14 #Quito #Ecuador Pres Noboa: "No one can come and take by force the capital of all Ecuadorians.
To those who choose violence, the law awaits them. To those who act like criminals, they will be treated as criminals.
We continue doing what is our duty: we will be in Pastaza tomorrow, together with those who truly build the country, helping those who need it most to produce more and get ahead." - (1/2)
"While some want to stop Ecuador, we propel it forward.
We will reduce the VAT to 8% during the holidays of October 9, and November 2 and 3, because this country is not going to grind to a halt because of a few who lost the business of smuggling and illegal mining.
To boost the local economy, on November 14 we will pay the thirteenth salary to public employees,
so families will have more money during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We invite the private sector to join this initiative." - (2/2)
