SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AFP) — The Dominican Republic has asked Cuba to withdraw nine embassy staff, giving them seven days to leave, the foreign ministry announced Thursday.
The ministry did not explain this decision but insisted it complies with international law, namely an agreement on diplomatic relations called the Vienna Convention.
The Dominican government is run by right-wing President Luis Abinader and is allied with the United States, which is pressing for regime change in communist Cuba.
