President-elect Hipólito Mejía said he will carry out a complete restructuring of the diplomatic corps. He criticized that Dominican diplomats had not contributed to an increase investment to the DR. "Nothing has been exported here. I have traveled to all countries and I have not seen the case of one good diplomat," he told El Siglo newspaper. Mejía has announced he will appoint France-educated Hugo Tolentino Dipp, who has been president of the state university and of the Chamber of Deputies to the post.
