Ministry of Foreign Relations said it is not true that as part of agreements reached on occasion of the visit of President Leonel Fernández to Haiti, a joint Haiti-DR police force would be created. The agreement was supposedly prepared by the bilateral Haiti-DR commission and approved by the Presidents of Haiti and the DR during the visit of President Fernández to Haiti over the weekend. The information was obtained from the Internet page of the National Palace. As reported earlier, but denied by the Ministry, the police force would be in charge of the security of the border, would seek to impede the access of illegal citizens and control contraband of merchandise, primarily illicit drugs.
