(Work that brought about the rejection and dissent of the Dominican region) and they decided, in addition, “The ultranationalist should not fall for the games of the Dominicans and Haitians.”

“I have had in-depth conversations on topics of general interest. We have agreed to continue working for the benefit of the people of both countries without getting caught up in the game of Dominican and Haitian ultranationalists, “Moise wrote on his Twitter account.

Given this, Dominican Foreign Minister Roberto AlvarezRegarding the construction of the dam, President Abhinav said the situation was in the hands of the foreign ministries of the two countries.
