English/Español: Rubio Joins Menendez, Risch, Kaine in Introducing Bill to Bolster U.S.-Ecuador Relationship
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Jim Risch (R-ID), and Tim Kaine (D-VA) in introducing the United States-Ecuador Partnership Act of 2022. The bipartisan legislation strengthens the United States’ cooperation with Ecuador on issues of mutual interest, including strengthening democratic institutions, promoting inclusive economic growth, supporting environmental conservation initiatives, and expanding capabilities to address corruption, crime, and negative foreign influence.
Rubio and Kaine are the Ranking Member and Chairman, respectively, of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
Menendez and Risch are the Chairman and Ranking Member, respectively, of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
“At a time when countries in our region are making a radical shift towards anti-American governments, it’s essential we double down in our efforts to support pro-American allies in our hemisphere,” Rubio said. “Ecuador is a strong, democratic partner and through this effort, we are confirming our bipartisan and unwavering support to our bilateral relationship.”
“I am very proud to be joined by my colleagues in introducing this important legislation to lay out a long-term vision for strengthening the U.S.-Ecuador relationship, as well as delineate how we can best support Ecuador in addressing current challenges,” Menendez said. “This commonsense legislation is further proof of the bipartisan consensus recognizing Ecuador’s rightful status as a key democratic partner whose economic growth, democratic resilience, and ability to address security challenges and malign foreign influence are vital for U.S. national interests. With the help of the vibrant Ecuadorian-American community in New Jersey and across the United States, I look forward to securing passage of this legislation and writing a new chapter of friendship and partnership between our two nations.”
“Last July, I led a bipartisan congressional delegation to Ecuador to underscore the United States’ commitment to our bilateral relationship and to address issues impacting both of our nations,” Kaine said. “I’m excited that this bipartisan legislation will continue to strengthen our partnership by expanding economic opportunity and promoting good governance in Ecuador.”
“Ecuador has made significant strides in restoring market-friendly economic policies and its democratic institutions,” Risch said. “This bipartisan effort encourages bilateral cooperation to promote economic prosperity and regional stability through stronger commercial ties and greater transparency, respect for the rule of law, and resilience against state and non-state malign influences.”
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) se unió a los senadores Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Jim Risch (R-ID) y Tim Kaine (D-VA) para presentar un proyecto de ley bipartidista que busca fortalecer la cooperación entre EE.UU. y Ecuador en temas de interés mutuo, incluyendo el fortalecimiento de las instituciones democráticas, la promoción del crecimiento económico inclusivo, el apoyo a iniciativas para la conservación del medio ambiente, y la ampliación de capacidades para confrontar la corrupción, delincuencia e influencia extranjera maligna.
“En un momento en que los países de nuestra región están dando un giro radical hacia gobiernos anti-americanos, es esencial que redoblemos nuestros esfuerzos para apoyar a los aliados pro-estadounidenses en nuestro hemisferio”, Rubio dijo. “Ecuador es un gran socio democrático y, a través de este esfuerzo, estamos reiterando nuestro apoyo bipartidista inquebrantable a nuestra relación bilateral”.
“Me enorgullece estar acompañado por mis colegas en presentar este importante proyecto de ley para establecer una visión a largo plazo para el fortalecimiento de la relación entre Estados Unidos y Ecuador, así como delinear cómo podemos seguir apoyando a Ecuador a enfrentar desafíos actuales”, Menéndez dijo. “Esta legislación de sentido común es una prueba más del consenso bipartidista que reconoce el estatus legítimo de Ecuador como un aliado democrático clave cuyo crecimiento económico, resistencia democrática y capacidad para abordar desafíos de seguridad e influencia extranjera maligna son vitales para los intereses de Estados Unidos. Con el respaldo de la gran comunidad ecuatoriana-estadounidense en Nueva Jersey y en todo Estados Unidos, seguiremos luchando para aprobar este proyecto de ley y así escribir un nuevo capítulo de amistad y cooperación entre nuestras dos naciones”.
“Ecuador ha dado pasos importantes en restablecer políticas económicas favorables al libre mercado y de sus instituciones democráticas”, Risch dijo. “Este esfuerzo bipartidista fomenta la cooperación bilateral para promover la prosperidad económica y la estabilidad regional a través de lazos comerciales más fuertes y una mayor transparencia, el respeto del estado de derecho y la resistencia contra las influencias malignas estatales y no estatales”.
“El pasado mes de julio, encabecé una delegación bipartidista del Congreso a Ecuador para subrayar el compromiso de Estados Unidos con nuestra relación bilateral y para abordar cuestiones que afectan a nuestras dos naciones”, Kaine dijo. “Me alegra que esta legislación bipartidista continúe fortaleciendo nuestra asociación mediante la expansión de las oportunidades económicas y la promoción de la buena gobernanza en Ecuador”.
