This was stated by the official representative of the Secretary General Stephane Dujarric.

“The Secretary General is alarmed by the forced entry of Ecuadorian security forces into the premises of the Mexican Embassy in Quito,” RIA Novosti reports his words.

In addition, Dujarric emphasized that, according to Guterres, the inviolability of diplomatic facilities must be respected.

Violations of this principle, as noted, jeopardize the establishment of normal international relations.

Earlier, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller called on Mexico and Ecuador to resolve the conflict on the basis of international norms.

There was also a protest outside the Ecuadorian Embassy in Mexico City.
