(CNN) -- Top diplomats from Ecuador and the United Kingdom failed to reach an agreement Thursday over the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, but they agreed to meet again to discuss the issue. "We still do not see, of course, an immediate solution, but we understand that there is a willingness to discuss the topic." Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino told reporters after the meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Ecuador granted Assange asylum in August, but he faces arrest in Britain if he leaves the South American country's embassy in London.

Patino called on British authorities to reconsider the case, given @placeholder's granting of asylum and "the right to not be extradited when politically motivated causes are involved."
