South African President Thabo Mbeki has met with Dominican Foreign Minister Carlos Troncoso, and agreed to aid the DR in stopping energy fraud with the possible implementation of pre-paid energy meters. Troncoso points out that 80% of South African energy is monitored through such meters. Aside from being fraud-proof, they are also wireless. Mbeki also promised that his country would support the DR’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council. The DR will also receive the support of India.
