Ecuador has urged the UK Government to drop any threat to storm its embassy so that fresh talks can be held over the future of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been inside the building for the past two months.
Officials expressed optimism that a "compromise" could be reached over Mr Assange, who is wanted for questioning in Sweden over claims of sexual assault.
But they made clear that the 41-year-old Australian can stay inside the London embassy for "as long as it takes" to resolve his future.
"He can stay here for eight years... two centuries. However long he wants," said one official.
