NewzDominican Republic President Luis Abinader announced on Monday that he would welcome El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and offer him full support if he decides to visit the Dominican-Haitian border. The statements were made amidst heightened regional tensions driven by the ongoing crisis of violence in Haiti and specifically following the recent kidnapping of four Salvadoran military technicians.
In the wake of the incident, the Dominican government also detailed its border protection measures against potential threats from criminal gangs operating in Haiti, deploying a military contingent. Concurrently, President Abinader dismissed notions that the Dominican Republic is currently facing its highest level of national and border security risk, asserting that the country has successfully navigated graver security challenges in the past.
