Government requests withdrawal of nine members of Cuban mission

The Dominican government has formally requested that the Cuban government withdraw nine members of its diplomatic mission along with their respective family members. The decision marks a notable diplomatic step between the two nations, though authorities in the Dominican Republic have chosen to keep the specific motivations behind the measure entirely confidential.

In addition to withholding the rationale for the expulsions, the Dominican administration has stated that it will not provide any further explanations or commentary regarding the case. The restricted disclosure leaves the public and observers without official context concerning the diplomatic friction leading up to the withdrawal request.
