President Leonel Fernandez and his Palestinian counterpart Mahmoud Abbas have signed a bilateral agreement calling for an exchange of diplomats between the DR and the Palestinian National Authority. The agreement is deemed a first step in the process of construction of friendship and cooperation. The agreement was signed at the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm-el-Sheikh.
In Egypt, Fernandez said that the DR, from its "modest position", would do what it could to contribute to a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. President Fernandez is in Egypt to attend the Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, or NAM, from 15-17 July.
During his stay in Egypt, Fernandez will be defending ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya, calling for his return to government. As reported in Hoy, Zelaya made a surprise visit to the DR on the morning of Fernandez's departure to Egypt to attend the NAM summit to lobby for Fernandez's support to a move for a UN resolution calling for his return to power in Honduras.
