The crisis over Colombia's cross-border raid into Ecuador is over after the presidents of the two countries shook hands at a regional summit.

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, who had backed Ecuador's Rafael Correa in condemning Colombia's actions, also embraced Colombia's Alvaro Uribe.

There had been heated exchanges between the heads of state at the Rio Group summit in the Dominican Republic.

The crisis had threatened political stability in Latin America.

Well that's over at least.
