The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today arrived in Ecuador and immediately proceeded to the Ministry of Foreign Relations, where he met with Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño. Secretary General Insulza held an extensive meeting with the head of Ecuadorean diplomacy, to whom he expressed the full support and solidarity of the hemispheric organization with the people and Government of President Rafael Correa, who yesterday overcome with “decision and bravery” an attempted coup d’etat.
Minister Patiño thanked Secretary General for his visit to the South American country and valued the rapid reaction by the OAS in support of the Ecuadorean democracy, as well as the agreement reached unanimously by all countries in the continent in support of the Constitutional Government of President Correa, as expressed in a resolution by the Permanent Council on Thursday.
The OAS Secretary General said that “yesterday was a sad day for democrats, but today we are happy because the continent as a whole defended Ecuadorean democracy and we all gave our support to the integrity of President Correa.”
“Moral strength, wisdom and skills are needed to overcome as difficult a moment as Ecuadoreans endured yesterday, and President Correa showed he has it all, and fortunately yesterday’s uprising remained an attempted coup d’etat”, said the head of the hemispheric organization.
After meeting Minister Patiño, the OAS Secretary General visited the National Assembly, where he met with the Assembly’s Vice-President, Irina Cabezas, and the President of the Foreign Relations Committee, Fernando Bustamante.
