Las explicaciones registradas están disponibles actualmente en inglés.
Relations shifted from Correa-era alignment to political confrontation over Venezuela’s leadership and diplomatic representation.
Ecuador hacia Venezuela
-20Ecuador cooperated with Venezuela under Rafael Correa, including by joining ALBA in 2009. Under Lenín Moreno, Ecuador recognized Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s interim president and expelled Venezuelan diplomats in January 2019, reflecting a sharp policy reversal.
Venezuela hacia Ecuador
-10Venezuela cooperated with Ecuador during the Correa-era alignment. In January 2019, Venezuela retaliated against Ecuador’s expulsion of its diplomats by expelling Ecuadorian diplomats, escalating the bilateral dispute.
Relación general
-15The enduring relationship has been shaped by a marked change in Ecuador’s political alignment: substantial cooperation during the Correa years gave way to disputes over Venezuela’s government and reciprocal diplomatic expulsions. These shifts make the relationship mixed, with later political confrontation tempering the earlier cooperation.

Contexto de la relación
Panorama general
Ecuador–Venezuela relations shifted from close cooperation under Rafael Correa, including Ecuador’s membership in the Venezuela-led ALBA alliance, to serious political friction after Ecuador’s government changed course. Ecuador’s recognition of opposition leader Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s interim president and the 2019 reciprocal expulsions of diplomats marked a period of confrontation. The relationship has therefore included substantive cooperation as well as later disputes over Venezuela’s political legitimacy.
