Venezuela, Honduras Announce Diplomatic Actions After Ecuador Raids Mexican Embassy | Latin Post [Video]

In a virtual summit convened by the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), Honduras and Venezuela have made significant diplomatic moves in response to a recent police Mexico embassy raid in Quito, Ecuador.

This incident, which occurred on April 5, has sparked a diplomatic uproar throughout the region, Aljazeera reports.

Honduras’s Foreign Relations Minister, Enrique Reina, declared that Honduras would recall its charge d’affaires from Ecuador as a sign of protest against the police raid.

Clarivel Vallecillo, the Honduran business manager stationed at the embassy, will return to Tegucigalpa for consultations.

Minister Reina emphasized Honduras’s support for Mexico’s legal action against Ecuador in the UN’s International Court of Justice.

Meanwhile, Venezuela announced plans to shut down its embassy and consulates in Ecuador.

The Ministry of Communication and Information (MIPPCI) stated that this decision would only be reversed once “international law is expressly restored in Ecuador.”
