“A group of them is already coming to these days to the country. We will start the first work sessions with them. So far we are talking about advisers, training, but not necessarily their presence here will be limited to these two themes,” said Defense Minister Gian Carlo Loffredo, in a television interview.
“It is not simply for foreign troops to come here and do whatever they want. Everyone is subject to the law, (…) to supervision and direct cooperation with our Armed Forces and the police,” said Noboa.
Noboa, 37, is one of the leading United States allies in Latin America and seeks international support in the war against factions that reach the country.
