BiggerPresident of the Senate: marketing and transportation to Haiti will return to normal in hours
Santo Domingo.- The President of the Senate, Ricardo de los Santos, has assured that transportation and trade with Haiti will be reestablished in the coming hours, aiming to restore the flow of binational markets along the border provinces.
Senator de los Santos, representing the province of Sánchez Ramírez, believes that Dominican merchants need not be apprehensive about the situation. He explained that the Dominican government, under the leadership of President Luis Abinader, is actively implementing diplomatic measures to resolve the conflicts with neighboring Haiti.
He expressed confidence in the normalization of commercial exchanges, citing effective communication management along the border regarding transportation. He also emphasized that President Abinader is committed to restoring bilateral trade and assisting Haiti in reestablishing order in its territory.
Additionally, Senator de los Santos noted that President Abinader’s popularity has been on the rise due to his successful handling of various challenges, including food crises, economic instability, and the global impact of events like the Ukraine-Russia conflict and recent conflicts involving Israel and Gaza. The President’s efforts have garnered support and approval from the public.
Well, they must had realized that Haiti provides $3 billions annually in trade surplus so they can not shut Haiti off… Now the question is “will Haiti play ball…?” Because Haitian are looking to trade with other countries and want to keep the border shut
. I am so glad that the president has handled the Russian Ukraine situation well and similarly the conflict in the Gaza Strip as well as economic instability . So have I !!
The Dominican government wants to force the Haitian to stop building of the irrigation canal by closing its border and by preventing the exportation principally of food items to Haiti, but it is a blessing in disguise for the Haitians, for the fact that the Haitians from now on have decided not to rely too much on one country for such matter, as well they are learning to cultivate a lot of the products they import from the Dominican republic, as well they began to import foods from other countries from the region.
