Macron offers resources to DRC for infrastructure works – El Nacional

Santo Domingo.- French President Emmanuel Macron, along with his counterpart from the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, raised his country’s interest in participating with resources in the construction of the third line of the Santo Domingo metro.

Macron also welcomed Dominican diplomatic efforts to support the United Nations Security Council's resolution to deploy a multinational mission to Haiti aimed at supporting that country's national police in the fight against armed gangs.

The Dominican government announced this, on Tuesday, in a statement, in which it indicated that what the French President expressed came in a letter he sent to Abinader on December 31 of last year.

The official report stressed that “the Dominican government appreciates this approach, which will undoubtedly strengthen the relationship between the two countries.”
