SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, CMC – The Deputy administrative minister of the presidency, Andrés Lugo Risk, has announced that plans are being developed for the signing of a grand Nation Pact to tackle the Haitian crisis.

According to Lugo Risk, President Luis Abinader called for this pact during his accountability before the National Assembly earlier this year and since then the works have been advancing in a broad, plural, and participatory manner over the past few weeks.

Lugo Risk added that 25 political, intellectual, and academic groups, as well as representatives from various areas of the government, have continued to participate in the spaces for debate and presentation of proposals that have been created to reconcile the different criteria of specialists and connoisseurs of the subject.

He added that four work commissions have been formed to address thematic axes such as foreign policy, immigration policy, economic impact, and border control.

Three of the commissions are already finalising the proposals that have been agreed upon.

These proposals aim to resolve the Haitian crisis through the development of a comprehensive strategy that takes into account the different perspectives and opinions of experts from various fields.

The Dominican Republic and Haiti share the island of Hispaniola.
