BiggerDominican Republic-Panama-Costa Rica summit for Haiti
Santo Domingo.- President Luis Abinader, will lead a summit of leaders to be held on December 10 and 11 in Puerto Plata, in which those from Panama and Costa Rica will participate.
This was announced on Twitter by the Administrative Minister of the Presidency, José Ignacio Paliza, specifying details of the event to be held in a hotel in that city.
“At this moment in Puerto Plata we are raising the organizational details for the presidents’ summit that we will hold here on December 10 and 11. Carlos Alvarado Quesada, from Panama, Nito Cortizo, Costa Ricaand as host, Luis Abinader will participate in this event, ”Minister Paliza posted on Twitter.
This would be the second official meeting that the Dominican president will hold with Presidents Alvarado Quezada and Cortizo. Already last October they met in Panama within the framework of the Alliance for Development in Democracy, in search of concrete and sustainable solutions to the crisis in Haiti and the growing flow of irregular migrants that it generates.
There should be more regional countries attending. Puerto Rico would be a natural to come. However, it being a US Commonwealth prevents it from participating unless approved by Dept. of State. Bahamas and Jamaica should attend.
In my opinion, a representative of the ONU should be present also more Latin American countries like Brasil, Mexico, Costa Rica. These countries had deported hundreds of undocumented Haitians.
The USA has deported more Haitians than any other country. France and United Kindom should take some action in this matter, The Dominican Republic doesn’t have the resources to take care of the Haitians problems and is NOT responsible for the Haitians misfortune, we had done a whole lot for Haiti.
