During his visit to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly earlier this week, President Danilo Medina met with his Colombian counterpart Juan Manuel Santos to discuss ways of increasing bilateral cooperation, especially in the areas of public safety and electricity. This is the third meeting between the two Presidents this year. They met in Colombia during Medina's electoral campaign and subsequently after he had been elected, but before taking office.

They agreed that the Colombian foreign relations minister Maria Angela Holguin would visit the Dominican Republic together with a high-level commission to finalize the details of the cooperation agreement.

Foreign Relations Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso, and the ministers of the Presidency and Administration, Gustavo Montalvo and Jose Ramon Peralta accompanied Medina at the meeting.
