Haitian President Rene Preval emphasized that Haitian-Dominican relations must remain positive, during his nine-hour visit to the Presidential Palace yesterday. "We are going to try to see the world in a positive way. Destiny has it that Leonel and I govern in the same periods," he told the press during a lunch in his honor at the Presidential Palace. Preval highlighted the coincidence that himself and President Fernandez were meeting again in their second terms. This was Preval's third official visit to the DR since he took office. President Leonel Fernandez said that he considers Preval's visit a success and said that relations between the two nations are destined to be one of brothers regardless of the differences of the past. Fernandez described the visit as "exceptional" and a good start for forthcoming important initiatives that will strengthen the ties between both countries.
Fernandez said that the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Haitian writer and thinker Jacques Roumain was an opportunity to strengthen ties between the two nations. Fernandez described Roumain as the Juan Bosch of Haiti.
