Ecuador is working on finding a way for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to leave its London embassy after five years.
The South American country is looking for a third-party mediator to help them work out a settlement with Britain regarding Assange, the foreign minister said Tuesday.
Foreign Minister Maria Fernanda Espinosa said Ecuador is "considering and exploring the possibility of mediation" to end the "untenable" five-year stay, the MailOnline reports
The move by Ecuador comes a few months after its president Lenin Moreno warned Assange to avoid inflammatory political statements and commenting on issues involving the country's allies.
