The Administrative Minister of the Presidency José Ignacio Paliza announced that on 10 and 11 December 2021, President Luis Abinader will receive the heads of state of Panama and Costa Rica in a summit to be held in a hotel in the city of Puerto Plata.
President Carlos Alvarado Quesada from Costa Rica and President Laurentino Cortizo from Panama will participate, Paliza tweeted.
The presidents have backed President Luis Abinader’s efforts to motivate the finding of solutions for the crisis in Haiti given the regional impacts. Paliza explains that Haiti is top on the list of issues covered by the presidents.
The alliance of Panama, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic is named Alliance for Development in Democracy. It is a follow up after the presidents met during the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. A second meeting then took place in Panama. This would be the third meeting of the presidents.
The meetings have come at a time when a political governance crisis is affecting Central America. The Dominican Republic for years has been part of the Central American Integration System (SICA).
