By AndreaColombia and Ecuador are known as governments with different and radical positions. Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa has resented the Colombian government’s attempt to violate his territory. Furthermore, he has had issues particularly with Alvaro Uribe, who lied to him on the day the Colombian army bombed FARC chief Raul Reyes’s camp. Uribe, on the other hand, was still raging because even though he recognized the violation of Ecuador’s sovereignty, he felt he was not attacking the people or the government of Ecuador. He believed that he was attacking his internal enemy, the guerrilla, who was being tolerated on the other side of the border.
On Friday, October 9th, 2009, the Foreign Relations Ministers of Colombia and Ecuador, Jaime Bermúdez and Fander Falconí, met in Ipiales, Nariño, in order to rebuild the trust between the two nations as a way to restore the diplomatic relationship. The meetings resulted in an agreement between the two countries. Accordingly, Colombia promised to refrain from carrying out military operations in Ecuador. Ecuador; on the other hand, would combat illegal groups within its territory.
