DR Foreign Relations Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso assured Haitian President Boniface Alexandre of the willingness of the DR to continue lobbying for international aid for Haiti and the condoning of that nation’s foreign debt. During a one day visit to Port-au-Prince, Morales Troncoso said: “If Haiti suffers, the Dominican Republic also suffers; if there is peace in Haiti, that is a reason for joy and satisfaction in the DR.”
Morales also met with the UN mission in the neighboring country.
In a meeting at the Presidential Palace, Morales Troncoso spoke of the need to continue fostering international aid for the stabilization of Haiti. President Alexandre referred to Haitian authorities’ efforts to achieve a successful electoral process, as a guarantee to stability, something that would benefit the DR and relations among the two nations. Morales Troncoso also met with Prime Minister Gerard Latortue, his homologue Herard Abraham, and the ministers of the Interior and Social Affairs, Paul Magloier and Frantz Charles.
