Dated Paris, 27 January 2010, a diplomatic note from the French Ministry of Foreign Relations praises Dominican assistance in Haiti. "The French government fully mobilized to assist Haiti wants to pay particular tribute to the Dominican Republic for its great generosity," says the diplomatic note sent by the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Relations Bernard Valero through its embassy in Santo Domingo. The note highlights the fact that Dominican government and public and private institutions and civil society showed exemplary generosity. The note recognizes that the DR contributed immediate and massive assistance to the neighboring country, facilitated the transport of the rescue crews and international teams, and the hospitals provided emergency treatment to around 15,000 injured Haitians. Furthermore, the note says that the logistical facilities provided by Dominicans enabled French rescue crews to operate efficiently and swiftly, as in the case of French rescue workers who were able to reach Jacmel on ships provided by the Dominican Navy.
"Our Embassy in Santo Domingo also benefited from all the help of the Dominican authorities to French residents and companies that supported our embassy in Haiti and the rescue operations. It also commended relief efforts by the Lycee Francaise in Santo Domingo, the Alliance Francaise nationwide and the actions of the Dominican-French chamber of Commerce that immediately mobilized and set up an efficient crisis center.
