The United States spoke this Saturday (6) through State Department spokesman Matthew Miller about the events that occurred at the Mexican embassy in Quito, where security forces invaded to arrest former vice president Jorge Glas.
“The United States condemns any violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and takes very seriously the obligation of host countries to respect the sanctity of diplomatic missions under international law,” said the US State Department statement.
He added: “Mexico and Ecuador are crucial partners of the United States and we greatly value our relationships with both countries. We encourage the two countries to resolve their differences in accordance with international standards.”
