Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that Mexico will not renew diplomatic relations with Ecuador as long as President Daniel Noboa is in office. She stated, “To begin with, we do not have relations with Ecuador, nor will we have any while Noboa holds the Office of the President because he was responsible for the invasion of the Mexican Embassy -- an attack on our sovereignty.”

Sheinbaum referred to the April 2024 incident when Ecuadorian authorities raided the Mexican embassy in Quito to arrest former Vice President Jorge Glas, who had been granted asylum by Mexico. This led to Mexico suspending diplomatic ties due to a violation of international law.

Sheinbaum also described Noboa’s re-election as “highly questionable,” pointing to a preliminary report by the Organization of American States (OAS), which noted concerns about Noboa using public resources for his campaign. His opponent, Luisa González, has challenged the election results, alleging significant electoral fraud and irregularities.
