  1. “We know that the international financial and economic crisis affects us all, but in our opinion, the principle of solidarity should be maintained, particularly in the case of Haiti, since, as the Secretary- General has said, the progress that has been made there remains very fragile and is subject to reversal. I conclude by reiterating the readiness of the Government of the Dominican Republic to continue to contribute to this effort in favour of Haiti. I trust that the international community, and in particular donor countries as a whole, will continue to adhere to the sound principle of solidarity.”

  2. “It is charged with supervising the border with a view to preventing the trafficking of drugs, arms and persons and has the specific mandate of ensuring strict respect for the physical integrity and health of the persons that cross through it. The results of that programme were highlighted in the report of the Security Council mission that recently Visited Haiti, which confirmed the climate of respect and professionalism that prevails in the border area. We support the upcoming donor conference that will be held in Washington, and we trust that it will stimulate the cooperation of the international community with Haiti. Recent progress in Haiti has been noted by the Security Council mission and by the Secretary-General following his visit to Haiti with former President Clinton.”

  3. “In this regard, I am pleased to announce that the Joint Commission will be meeting starting in mid-April 2009 to commence work on our important common agenda. Without a doubt, the friendly and special nature of the personal relations between President Fernandez Reyna of the Dominican Republic and President Preval of Haiti has contributed significantly to the progress in strengthening the ties between the Dominican Republic and Haiti and, above all, to the readiness to facilitate communication and better understanding, as befits two peoples destined to share a geographical border. With regard to border management, the Dominican Republic has implemented a professionally managed programme on its side of the border through the creation of CESFRONT, or the Specialized Border Security Force.”

  4. “The Dominican Republic views in a very positive light the work done by MINUSTAH, and believes that this effort of solidarity, which involves the countries of our region and other parts of the world, will contribute to the development and institutional, economic and social progress of the Haitian people. The Dominican Republic is currently working with Haiti, as noted by the Secretary-General in his report on MINUSTAH (S/2009/129), on the 8 re-establishment of the Haitian-Dominican Joint Commission, which is aimed at addressing priority issues in our relations, including immigration issues, the increasing trade, health, education, border security, the fight against drug trafficking, the environment and other questions of interest for both countries.”

  5. “Recently, nature has had a harsh impact on what were already difficult living conditions for the peoples of our two countries, but we recognize that it has been even more devastating for the neighbouring people of Haiti. Recurring hurricanes have cast a shadow and indeed affected Haiti's present and its future, at least its immediate future. In this context, we note the urgency of responding to the call for solidarity expressed in many multilateral forums by prominent leaders in our region. The time has come to actively help Haiti, and as the Secretary-General has said, this help should be aimed at reducing Haiti's dependence on humanitarian assistance, as recent statistical studies have observed that Haiti's economic fundamentals are strong.”

  6. “Mr. Del Rosario Ceballos (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): First of all, I would like to congratulate Mexico, a distinguished member of our region, on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of April and for its initiative to convene an open Security Council debate on Haiti. Debates such as this keep the spotlight on the principle of solidarity and the commitment of the international community to Haiti. Likewise, I wish to congratulate the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya for the transparency and good work they carried out during the month of March at the head of the Security Council. I also thank Mr. Hedi Annabi, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) for his valuable briefing this morning.”
