SUBJECT: ECUADOR DEMARCHE RESPONSE: 4TH COMMUNITY OF
DEMOCRACIES MINISTERIAL

REF: A. STATE 151024

B. QUITO 2217

(SBU) Poloff delivered background information on the 4th
Community of Democracies Ministerial (Ref A) to MFA's
Multilateral Affairs Directorate on November 15, 2007. On
November 20, Lourdes Puma, MFA Director General of
Multilateral Affairs, told us that Ecuador was unable to
attend the ministerial due to limited resources. This is
consistent with our response to an earlier demarche (Ref B).
