  • Ecuador says it needs both US, China

Ecuador's minister of foreign affairs and human mobility said the country needs to maintain balanced support for development from the United States and China.

Gabriela Sommerfeld spoke to the media in Tokyo on Thursday. She is the first Cabinet minister of the new administration of President Daniel Noboa to visit Japan. Noboa won reelection earlier this year. Sommerfeld said Ecuador needs more investments and trade, and for that purpose, the country has to keep good relations with its main markets.

Asked about relations with Japan, Sommerfeld referred to more than 100 years of diplomatic relations. She expressed hope to expand areas for cooperation between the two countries and to promote Ecuador for investments from Japanese companies.
