Foreign Relations Minister Andres Navarro has announced in Antigua, Guatemala that the Dominican government will make preparations to open the five Dominican consulates in Haiti next week after receiving staff safety guarantees from President Michel Martelly of Haiti. During the meeting between Navarro and his Haitian counterpart Pierre Duly Brutus in Antigua, Guatemala, yesterday, Tuesday 10 March 2015 they also agreed to reopen the talks at the Bilateral Commission that is working on the bilateral agenda.
