[edit]

Diplomatic relations between Ecuador and the Soviet Union were established on 16 June 1945, though it was not until November 1969 that the opening of embassies was agreed upon.[4] Both countries began to exchange ambassadors from 1970 onwards. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ecuador recognised the Russian Federation as its successor state.[4]
