Tras Tensiones, Ecuador Y Colombia Abren La Puerta Al Diálogo. Conflicto Prolongado afectaría a Ambos Países, Dicen Analistas

Ecuador imposed 30% tariffs citing border security issues; Colombia halted energy exports amid talks to prevent further economic impact, analysts say tensions have political motives.

  • Ecuador and Colombia opened a diplomatic channel, with Gabriela Sommerfeld saying they are negotiating meeting dates after Colombia proposed Sunday and Ecuador's counterproposal for next week.
  • Ecuador says it imposed 30% tariffs due to Colombia's weak border security and coca control, while Colombia's Cancillería rejected this, stressing ongoing cooperation; analysts Daniel Velandia and José Alvear noted political tensions factor in.
  • Analyst Julián Cárdenas warned that Colombia's rejection could impact Ecuadorian industries, including the automotive sector, risking $ 2.000 m in exports.
  • Ecuador's foreign minister said officials are negotiating a meeting date, with Colombia proposing Sunday and Ecuador offering dates next week, as the 30% tariffs loom on Feb 1.
  • Analysts say Ecuador and Colombia remain highly integrated commercially, making prolonged tensions costly, so the dispute is likely managed to avoid disrupting electric and hydrocarbon flows.
