President Leonel Fernandez has held a meeting at the Presidential Palace with US Air Force General Douglas M. Fraser, commander of the US Southern Command (SC). Fraser was in the Dominican Republic for an official visit that included attending the annual Caribbean Nations Security Conference.
Fraser assured Fernandez that the Southern Command and the US would continue to support the DR's fight against drug trafficking and efforts aimed at strengthening security. The US Southern Command will also make contributions towards health and infrastructure.
Fraser mentioned that some 70,000 Dominicans have benefited from the New Horizons program, a US Southern Command-sponsored humanitarian and civic assistance exercise that began in the Central and South American region this summer. The exercise is designed to strengthen ties with partner nations in the region through combined quality-of-life improvement projects.
