He represented the Ecuadorian government in a number of countries. Because of his merits he received several decorations: "Al Merito" (Ecuador), "Orden de San Carlos" (Colombia), and "Comendador de la Orden de Leopoldo" (Belgium). As a dramatist, Andrade published Suburbio (The Outskirts), a romantic evocation on the suburbs of Quito.[1]
