June 24, 2013 (TSR-Prensa Latina) – Ecuador seeks to sign a trade agreement with the European Union (EU) characterised by mutual respect, sovereignty and understanding, the foreign ministry said over the weekend.
“We will dialogue with pragmatism, open mind, dignity and sovereignty. We will listen, but also propose initiatives in each subject”, said Deputy Foreign Minister, Marco Albuja.
Albuja, who led the Ecuadorian delegation to Brussels, highlighted the objectives and significant achievements of the Citizen Revolution in the National Plan for Good Living.
“In Ecuador, we are experiencing a new stage and what we want is a relationship with the European Union, a win-win that we have between our country and the EU”, he said.
The Executive Director for the Americas of the EU, Christian Leffler, considered important to establish an open and frank dialogue. “We gain a greater understanding to reduce the gap and increase mutual respect,” he said.
