British Foreign Secretary William Hague and visiting Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino held a bilateral meeting for 45 minutes yesterday morning.
The two ministers agreed to keep channels of communication open on how to solve the WikiLeaks founder’s situation, but “no substantive progress was made,” the Foreign Office said.
Hague insisted that any resolution would need to be within the laws of Britain, which means the British police will arrest Assange if he stepped out of the Ecuadorian embassy and deliver him to Sweden. Patino said Ecuador will continue to push Britain to allow Assange to leave the country so he can take political asylum in the South American country. — Xinhua.
