Haiti - Diplomacy : Dominican ambassador summoned to the Haitian foreign ministry
A document from the Haitian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship, dated October 26, 2026, contains a summons addressed to the Ambassador of the Dominican Republic in Port-au-Prince, Faruk Miguel. The document proposes a discussion regarding "matters of great interest to both our countries, specifically, reports concerning the presence of the Dominican military on Haitian territory." The summons schedules the meeting for Thursday, October 29, at 12:00 p.m., at the Ministry’s headquarters.
The document does not state whether the alleged incursions have been verified, nor does it provide details regarding the circumstances under which they supposedly took place. Furthermore, it does not specify dates, exact locations, or the specific military units involved.
This summons comes at a time when the Dominican Republic has significantly bolstered its border security measures in response to the deteriorating situation in Haiti and the evolving nature of security operations within Haitian territory. This reinforcement, particularly in the southern zone, includes the deployment of two additional military battalions, armored vehicles, heavy equipment, artillery, drones, and other surveillance assets.
