Cuba closes embassy in Quito after Ecuador expels its diplomats
Change
Cuba closed its embassy in Quito at 10:00 local time after Ecuador declared all Cuban diplomatic and consular personnel persona non grata and gave them 48 hours to leave.
Why it matters
The action severs formal diplomatic channels between Havana and Quito, interrupting consular services and routine government-to-government coordination. That constraint will impede visa and passport processing and reduce official capacity to manage bilateral programs or coordinate on security matters through normal diplomatic lines.
