DR and Haitian chancellors continue bi-national dialogue today in Jimani
They will deal with the reopening of the consulates closed after attacks
SANTO DOMINGO. The military base of the Specialized Corps of Frontier Security (Cesfront) in Jimani will be the scenario for the Dominican and Haitian chancellors to deal today with the reopening of the consulates that were closed temporarily in Haiti because of a lack of security, as well as other bi-national issues.
Chancellor Andres Navarro reported that the meeting with his counterpart Pierre Duly Brutus will begin at 10:30 in the morning. He said they also invited the Minister of Defense, Lieutenant general Maximo William Muñoz Delgado, and the chief of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (Minustah), Sandra Honore.
The meeting was agreed upon by the officials during the bilateral meeting they held on Tuesday in Antigua, Guatemala, at the request of the Haitian Chancellor, in search of restoring the bi-national relations affected by the recent demonstrations of Haitian groups that threatened the security of the consular missions in Anse-a-Pites and Port-au-Prince.
Although the Chancellor did not expand regarding the details of today's meeting, after the meeting with Brutus in Guatemala, he reported that the following week he would order the reopening of the five Dominican consulates, after receiving security guarantees for the personnel from the government of the Haitian President, Michel Martelli.
Last 4 March, the Ministry of Foreign Relations announced the temporary closure of the diplomatic missions, after a group of demonstrators attacked the consular headquarters in Port-au-Prince, and burned the Dominican flag, in protest of alleged racism and xenophobia in this country.
Because of the incident, the Chancellery of the Dominican Republic recalled its ambassador and the consul from the Haitian capital.
"It is important that it be known that between Haiti and the Dominican Republic a mixed bilateral commission has been working so that in the next days they will return to their work of developing a series of projects with the participation of the two governments and the business sectors of the two nations," said Navarro in Tuesday's meeting.
He also agreed with Brutus to a series of meetings to deal with other issues such as security, frontier management, immigration, commerce and investments.
While the governments tried to come to an understanding through the diplomatic talks, the consulate in Cape Haitian has been under police vigilance after the attempts of another group to burn the Dominican flag at the end of a protest march.
