LIMA (Reuters) - Ecuador has suspended construction on a wall along a canal at its southern border with Peru, the two countries said on Thursday, after Lima had protested by recalling its ambassador to Quito earlier this week.
Peru thanked Ecuador for the gesture on Thursday, which came after the neighbouring countries' foreign affairs ministers met in Lima, and said on Twitter they would further discuss the wall later this month. Peru's ambassador to Ecuador will also return to Quito, the ministry added.
