Abinader to Address Dominican-Haitian Border Security in Weekly Briefing
President Luis Abinader is scheduled to discuss security along the Dominican Republic’s border with Haiti during La Agenda Semanal on Monday at 3 p.m., two hours earlier than the program’s usual start time. Defense and foreign affairs officials, along with military commanders responsible for national security, are expected to join him.
Dominican President Luis Abinader will address the security situation along the border with Haiti during Monday’s edition of La Agenda Semanal, scheduled for 3 p.m. instead of its usual 5 p.m. time.
Abinader will be accompanied by Defense Minister Lieutenant General Carlos Antonio Fernández Onofre, Foreign Affairs Minister Víctor Bisonó and military commanders responsible for national security. The briefing is expected to focus on conditions along the border and measures taken by the Dominican government in response to the crisis in neighboring Haiti.
Government Details Additional Border Reinforcements
On Sunday, Abinader said the country had nearly 11,000 personnel available and that two additional battalions had been deployed to the southern border, along with heavy equipment and artillery.
The president said the government had reinforced an already substantial security presence in the area, emphasizing that protecting the Dominican Republic was his responsibility.
The planned briefing comes amid renewed attention to security in Haiti following the kidnapping of four Salvadoran military technicians. The incident prompted Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to send a military contingent to seek to rescue the kidnapped personnel, according to the information provided.
Border Security and the Situation in Haiti
The Dominican government’s response to developments in Haiti is expected to be a central topic of Monday’s discussion. The two countries share the island of Hispaniola, and security along their land border remains a matter of national concern for Dominican authorities.
Abinader’s appearance is expected to provide further details on the government’s border measures and the role of the armed forces in maintaining security in the southern border region.
Further announcements and details will depend on the information presented during the scheduled briefing.
