“We express our fervent desire that Haiti will overcome its political and humanitarian crisis within the framework of international law and the norms of peaceful coexistence. We support the Organization of American States resolution urging Haiti to resolve its internal crisis within the framework of its constitution, and we support all the humanitarian initiatives proposed by the Caribbean Community. My Government reiterates its offer of its good offices in the search for mechanisms that can help resolve this foretold crisis and reiterates its call on the international community, in particular the developed countries, to extend immediate assistance to the Republic of Haiti in order to prevent further disaster and sorrow in the near future.”

“Hipolito Mejia Dominguez, spoke before the forum of nations during the General Assembly's Millennium Summit about the worrisome situation in Haiti and asked the international community, in particular the developed nations, to extend their assistance and cooperation in order to find solutions to the economic, social and humanitarian problems affecting our brotherly nation. Our President and our Minister for Foreign Affairs have reiterated this message in all international forums. Had those appeals been heeded, we could have avoided the chaotic situation in which Haiti finds itself today. In that connection, we welcome the Secretary-General's announcement that he will appoint a Special Adviser on Haiti.”

As the representative of the Government of the Dominican Republic, I would like to state that the acute and lamentable socio-political crisis afflicting the territory of the brotherly Republic of Haiti is of profound concern to the Dominican Republic since we share the same island and that, as a result, the events and the grave insecurity in Haiti will have great repercussions for my country in the economic, migratory and humanitarian areas. The President of the Dominican Republic, Mr.”
