Former United States President Jimmy Carter announced yesterday that President Leonel Fernandez would meet with his Haitian counterpart Rene Preval in November. Carter also said that there was no way that the Dominican Republic could succeed in putting a stop to Haitian immigration.
During a press conference at the Presidential Palace, Carter did not specify where the meeting would take place, but he assured the reporters that among other things, both leaders would talk about eradicating malaria.
The former president said that the factors involved in Haitian immigration were present in every country in the world, poor as well as rich, and gave the example of what happens between Mexico and the United States.
Carter, who held a half-hour long meeting with Leonel Fernandez in his office, said that the best thing for both nations is to deal with the migration issue jointly.
"They should cooperate with each other", Carter told reporters. He added that as the DR is better off than Haiti, cooperation from the DR side should be greater.
