The United States said Monday Colombia and Ecuador should resolve their dispute through dialogue but not military action.
The dispute between the two countries came after Colombia bombed and dispatched troops into Ecuador in a weekend raid that killed a Colombian rebel leader in his jungle camp.
"The way for any differences about this particular military action to be resolved is through dialogue among the two countries. That's in everyone's interests, and it's certainly what we are encouraging the government of Colombia and the government of Ecuador to do," State Department deputy spokesman Tom Casey said.
The United States supports a proposal by the Organization of American States to provide a forum for mediation between the two countries, Casey said.
Moreover, Casey denied any U.S. role in the raid of Colombia, which has been a key U.S. ally in South America.
