Cuban diplomats in the Dominican Republic begin to leave their embassy

Personnel at the Cuban embassy in the El Millón sector of Santo Domingo began packing up belongings and utensils on Saturday to leave the Dominican Republic. The departure comes after the Dominican government ordered the withdrawal of nine members of the Cuban diplomatic mission and their dependents.

The diplomatic shake-up marks a significant development in bilateral relations between the two Caribbean nations, resulting in the physical evacuation of affected embassy staff following the official expulsion order issued by Dominican authorities.
