On the topic of relations with Colombia, the Minister said that diplomatic relations with the neighboring country are "suspended indefinitely," but emphasized that bilateral trade between the two countries is still strong and a reopening of political relations is possible in the future. Dr. Larrea also spoke about Ecuador's relationship with the U.S., stating that though there exist "discrepancies" in interests between the two countries, there is no conflict, and successes in the areas of counternarcotics and U.S.-Andean trade demonstrate the potential for bilateral cooperation.

Is Haiti Drifting Towards Crisis?
Haiti is once again threatened by growing instability. Food riots in April in Port au Prince created a political upheaval when President Préval’s Prime Minister, Jacques-Édouard Alexis, was forced to resign. Since that time, Préval’s efforts to appoint a replacement twice have been rejected by the Chamber of Deputies. A stalemate in governance may place at risk hard-won efforts at reform, institutional building and economic development.
