ECUADOR: Correa gives thumbs up to new deepwater port
Ecuador will seek investment to go ahead with the construction of a deepwater port in Posorja, a small fishing town at the delta of the Guayas River about 120km from the coastal city of Guayaquil. President Rafael Correa made the announcement on his Saturday address ‘Enlace Ciudadano’. His comments elicited an angry riposte from Jaime Nebot, the opposition mayor of Guayaquil, who accused him of deliberately acting against Guayaquil’s interests, an accusation Correa vehemently denied.
