DR not looking for help with Haiti

[NewsWhore]

The Dominican Foreign Office announced yesterday that the government has not looked for nor has it requested Norway's assistance for solving problems between the DR and Haiti. The Chancellery said that it was issuing the statement in response to an article that appeared in the local press referring to a conference in the Norwegian city of Krisiansand, and which apparently called the conference a forum to promote conciliatory conversations between the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The note from the Chancellery said that the DR and Haiti already have diplomatic relations and very active consulates that deal with immigration issues. The note further stated that steps are under way to reactivate the Mixed Bilateral Dominican-Haitian Commission which has a long list of pending items on its agenda.
