Dominican Government Statement :

"The Dominican Government specifies that in the bilateral conversation held on June 9, 2022, within the framework of the Summit of the Americas, between the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, and the Prime Minister of Haiti, Ariel Henry, it there has not been any type of commitment to regularize the situation of Haitian immigrants and workers in the country or to support the candidacy of the former Haitian Minister of Public Health, Florence Guillaume Duperval, for the post Director General of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). The position of President Luis Abinader on these two issues was as follows :

Concerning immigrants and workers : The Haitian government must make every effort to provide official Haitian documents to all immigrants and workers in the Dominican Republic.

Regarding the candidacy for PAHO : The Dominican President indicated that he could not define any support given that the Government of Panama also has a candidacy for the same position and is also an ally...

The Dominican Government has very clear positions regarding the bilateral agenda with the Haitian Government. The only valid information on the agreements or discussions within the framework of the Summit of the Americas is that emanating from the official authorities of the Dominican Republic."
