Ecuador warns UK against adventurism.

Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa has warned Britain against any attempt to raid his country’s embassy in London, saying that adventurism would destroy bilateral ties.

In his weekly address to the nation, Correa delivered his strongest warning to the UK yet, as the diplomatic row over Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, escalated.

The Ecuadorian president described the UK’s stance as “grotesque” and “intolerant”.

He said if British police ‘violated Ecuador’s diplomatic mission’ in London it would destroy ties between the two countries.

“The United Kingdom threat would be breaking the law and encroaching on our embassy. I don’t know who they think I am or what they think our government is. But how could they expect us to yield to their threats or cower before them? My friends, they don’t know who they are dealing with”, said Correa.
