Washington.- Dominican President Luis Abinader and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken are set to meet this Friday in Santo Domingo, with Haiti expected to be a central topic of their discussions, according to the U.S. State Department.
Blinken will address security concerns in Haiti and emphasize the importance of “more normal relations” between the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Brian Nichols, the U.S. State Department’s lead official for Latin America, highlighted that both nations are naturally interconnected, and this relationship will be a key focus in conversations with leaders on both sides of the border.
Nichols also acknowledged the significant assistance the Dominican Republic provides to Haiti, expressing Washington’s hope for improved and stable ties between the two neighbors. This comes after a period of tension last year, when relations soured due to Haiti’s construction of a canal on the border river Masacre, leading President Abinader to close air, sea, and land borders with Haiti in protest.
