1. Fernandez and Preval meet for drug summit
Presidents Fernandez of the Dominican Republic and Rene Preval of Haiti are meeting today to discuss issues affecting the two nations that share the island of Hispaniola. The Dominican foreign ministry did not give details on the items to be discussed. It is reported that Preval will arrive on a private plane today and attend to some personal issues in Punta Cana. The official visit begins on Thursday when both presidents meet at the Presidential Palace in Santo Domingo. Members of their respective cabinets will attend the meetings. According to the report in Hoy, the most important issues are related to migration, security along the frontier and rules governing informal cross-border commerce. One of the main themes that will be touched upon will be the long dormant Bilateral Mixed Commission, which has not met in five years. Both Presidents will attend the Drug Summit in Santo Domingo where President Fernandez will address the assembly.
