Continued dialogue with D.R. needed, Haiti president says
The only thing that guarantees a harmonious coexistence with the Dominican Republic is continued dialogue, President Jocelerme Privert said in a recent interview.
“It is through dialogue and understanding we can find any solution,” Privert said. “We share the same island and similar situations. We must be in harmony. There’s no other way to live.” Privert also shared his thoughts on the Dominican Republic’s immigration policy saying he “respects the law.”
“I respect the law and the constitution of a country, in the same way that I respect the rights of people living in my country, as I respect the rights of citizens living in both parts of the island,” he said. Privert promised “work and hope” for all Haitians living abroad who return to the country.
