Santo Domingo, R.D. – The Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Carlos Antonio Fernández Onofre, carried out a supervisory tour of the border line together with the Minister of the Presidency, José Ignacio Paliza, and the general commander of the Army, Major General Jorge Iván Camino Pérez.
The day took place along the
international highway that separates the
Dominican Republic from
Haiti, covering the section from

In that context, the Ministry of Defense highlighted the Armed Forces’ commitment to the defense of national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and support for public policies in favor of the population.
