Spain on Sunday condemned the raid carried out by Ecuadoran security forces at Mexico's embassy in Quito to arrest graft-accused former vice president Jorge Glas and called for "respect for international law".

We call for respect for international law and concord between Mexico and Ecuador, sister countries of Spain and members of the Ibero-American community,” the foreign ministry said in a statement
