The Dominican Republic has a close relationship with the United States and with the other states of the inter-American system. It has accredited diplomatic missions in most Western Hemisphere countries and in principal European capitals. Newly elected president of Haiti RenÈ PrÈval made a working visit to Santo Domingo in March 2006, reciprocating Leonel Fern·ndezís call on the Interim Government of Haiti in December 2005. The Dominican government has regularly appealed for international support for its island neighbor. There is a sizeable Haitian migrant community in the Dominican Republic, many of whom lack residence permits and citizenship documentation. The Dominican Republic belongs to the UN and many of its specialized and related agencies, including the World Bank, International Labor Organization, International Atomic Energy Agency, and International Civil Aviation Organization. It is a member of the OAS and the Inter-American Development Bank. |
