LONDON — The Ecuadorean foreign minister is set to travel to London this month and has offered to meet his British counterpart to discuss the impasse over the Julian Assange case, officials from both countries said Monday.
Assange, founder of the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, has been holed up for nearly a year in the tiny Ecuadorean Embassy there, stymying British attempts to extradite him to Sweden.
The Swedish authorities want to question Assange in connection with accusations that he sexually assaulted two women, but Assange has said he fears that the Swedes will in turn send him to the United States to answer questions about his role in helping disseminate classified government information via WikiLeaks.
