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.
