Ecuador's President Noboa to Meet Chilean, Bolivian Leaders at Mercosur Summit

Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa is set to travel to Asunción, Paraguay, for the 68th Mercosur Summit of Heads of State and Government, taking place on June 29-30, 2026. This international gathering provides a platform for regional leaders to discuss key issues and strengthen cooperation among member and associate states.

During his visit, President Noboa is scheduled for bilateral meetings with his counterparts from Chile, José Antonio Kast, and Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz. These discussions are expected to focus on enhancing diplomatic relations and exploring avenues for collaboration between Ecuador and these South American nations.

As an Associate State of Mercosur since 2004, Ecuador actively participates in the bloc's political dialogue and coordination mechanisms. At this summit, Ecuador aims to promote regional dialogue and coordination on priorities including regional security, the fight against transnational organized crime, strengthening trade, economic integration, and the well-being of citizens.

Ecuador's Foreign Minister, Roberto Kury, will also attend the summit, accompanying President Noboa. His presence is intended to bolster Ecuador's standing within regional coordination spaces and to advance initiatives that consolidate political and economic cooperation among South American nations.
