President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, has announced a series of measures aimed at bolstering border security and tightening migration control as its neighbour, Haiti, continues to be faced with political and security concerns.
The 15 new measures will include accelerating the construction of the border wall that separates the two countries and adding 1500 additional soldiers for border surveillance.
“We will step up surveillance of the borders with 1,500 additional troops, on top of 9,500 already deployed,” Abinader told a news conference on Sunday. H said he has since approved the construction of a new section of a wall that separates the two countries – which share the second-largest island in the Caribbean.
