President Daniel Noboa ordered a change in the general command of the Ecuadorian Navy through Executive Decree 388, appointing Rear Admiral Pablo Iván Pazmiño Manrique as the new highest naval authority, replacing Vice Admiral Ricardo Manuel Unda Serrano. The decision was made official in Guayaquil in a context marked by the strengthening of maritime security and territorial control policies promoted by the Ecuadorian Government.
The change in the naval leadership occurs as Ecuador intensifies surveillance and patrol operations in strategic maritime corridors used by organizations linked to international drug trafficking. The Naval Force has strengthened its coordination with other branches of the Armed Forces and the National Police to expand intelligence capabilities, coastal control, and monitoring of maritime routes used for illicit activities that affect regional trade and security.
The appointment of Pablo Iván Pazmiño, a specialist in surface operations and defense strategy, is part of the State's efforts to strengthen maritime security and the protection of national and international logistical lines. These types of measures are relevant to ensuring the operational stability of Ecuadorian ports, preserving the traceability of foreign trade, and reinforcing confidence in supply chains and maritime transport in the regional Pacific.
