MEXICO-ECUADOR-DIPLOMACY-CRISIS-PRESSER

Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Alicia Barcena Ibarra (R) speaks next to Mexico's Ambassador to Ecuador, Raquel Serur, after the latter's arrival at the International Airport of Mexico City on April 7, 2024, after Quito's security forces stormed the Mexican embassy. Mexico's diplomatic personnel left Ecuador on Sunday, following the severing of relations between the two countries after Quito's security forces stormed the Mexican embassy in a raid that prompted searing international rebukes. Security forces carried out the raid to arrest former Ecuadoran vice president Jorge Glas, who was sheltering at the embassy where he had sought refuge last December after an arrest warrant was issued against him for alleged corruption, in a move that Ecuadoran President Daniel Noboa's government branded an "illicit act."
