During the visit, he will confer with Colombia’s newly formed De La Espriella government, Ecuadorian President Noboa, and Peru’s new Fujimori administration. The discussions will focus on U.S. assistance for Colombia’s earthquake relief efforts, stepping up cooperation to combat narcoterrorism that endangers the Western Hemisphere, and exploring opportunities for deeper commercial ties among the three nations.
