Colombia accuses Ecuador of xenophobia

22 de enero de 2009


As Ecuador tightens the measures for Colombian travelers in order to ‘limit the number of criminals’, as their government declared, the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs accuses them of xenophobia.

For the Colombian Foreign Minister Jaime Bermúdez, the measure is discriminatory and stigmatising, and he says it breaks some of the treaties in the Andean Community that forbids this kind of practices.
