Ecuador lifts visa rules for Chines

PressTV, 25 January, 2008

Ecuador has decided to eliminate the visa requirement for Chinese tourists who travel within 90 days in this South American country.


According to the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry, the decision was made on behalf of Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa.

The move is to strengthen bilateral relations and help promote tourism industry, Xinhua reported.

The new rule is to become effective as of February, 15, 2008.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, bilateral trade and economic relations have made new headway. China mainly imports banana, prawns and fish meat from Ecuador and mainly exports to Ecuador light industrial products, industrial and agricultural tools and mechanical equipment.
