United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa to "congratulate him on his re-election" as well as to advance the partnership between their two countries, US national security and "mutual priorities."
Rubio "commended the Ecuadorian people on a free and fair election and for carrying out a transparent, democratic, and peaceful electoral process." He also underlined the "shared commitment" of the US in Ecuador to protect their citizens from "narcoterrorists, transnational criminal organizations, illegal immigration, drugs and malign foreign influence" in the Western Hemisphere.
Additionally, the two officials discussed the economic growth of both countries and strategized on how to "address regional challenges such as in Haiti and Venezuela."
