U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, Wendy Sherman, arrived in the country last Tuesday and said she was “delighted” to have set foot on Dominican soil, where she will meet with President Luis Abinader, government officials, and representatives of civil society, youth and the private sector.
The number two of the State Department, through her Twitter account, made public her feelings about arriving in the country.
“Delighted to arrive in Santo Domingo to interact with government leaders, civil society, youth and the private sector to explore ways to further strengthen the relationship between the DR and the U.S. Our two nations are trusted partners and friends, and the U.S. remains committed to the continued success of the DR,” she said.
Sherman is scheduled to participate in a panel at the National Palace, requested by the US delegation to discuss issues of common interest, especially the reinforcement of “strong and enduring bilateral ties on a wide range of issues, including the urgent situation in Haiti”, as detailed in a State Department press release.
