QUITO (Reuters) – Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa will seek changes to the country’s constitution to allow foreign military bases to be established in the Andean country, he said on Monday via a post on X.

“Today we will present a partial constitutional reform to the national assembly which substantially modifies article 5 of the constitution that prohibits the establishment of foreign military bases…for military purposes. In a transnational conflict we need a national and international response,” Noboa said in the message.
