Former United States President Jimmy Carter arrived in the DR yesterday. He arrived at Puerto Plata's Gregorio Luperon Airport where he was met by US Embassy staff. The purpose of Carter's trip to the island is to raise awareness about malaria, and to push for the eradication of the disease in Haiti and the DR. This is Carter's first visit to the DR and he is expected to be in Dajabon today. Listin Diario reports that the purpose of Carter's visit to Dajabon is to learn about the situation on the DR/Haitian border. Carter is then scheduled to fly down to Santo Domingo where he will present a bi-national strategy for fighting the disease.
