13. Understanding Haiti
The Ministry of Foreign Relations has published the
first issue of the Revista Dominicana de Politica
Exterior, which is intended to focus on leading
foreign affairs issues. Foreign Relations Minister
Carlos Morales Troncoso explained that the first issue
is dedicated to Haiti. He said that ties with Haiti
are the strongest the DR has with any country, given
that both share an island and the fact that it is the
country's second largest trading partner. He said that
Haiti's problems are practically of as much interest
to Dominicans as to Haitians. Morales Troncoso
emphasized that Haiti's present critical situation is
the DR's problem and that the viability of the
Dominican state itself depends greatly on Haiti being
able to overcome this situation. The first issue of
the quarterly magazine is edited by Frank Marino
Hernandez and includes articles by Bernardo Vega, Jose
del Castillo, Hugo Guilliani Cury, Inocencio Garcia,
and a speech by President Fernandez focusing on
Haitian migration to the DR, Silvio Herasme Pena,
Frank Baez Evertz, and others
