Santo Domingo.- Haiti president René Préval will arrive today to meet with president Leonel Fernandez and to reactivate the Mixed Bilateral Commission, aimed at spurring the joint agenda of the two Hispaniola neighbors.

Fernandez is slated to meet with Préval at 5 p.m. and with Haiti Prime Minister Jean Max-Bellerive.

A source in the Presidency quoted by news source elcaribe.com.do said Préval and his delegation will depart from Port-au-Prince at 3 p.m. and once landed in Las Americas International Airport will go to the National Palace.

Created in 1996 the Bilateral Mixed Commission is formed by a team of officials from both countries who look for solutions to joint problems such as immigration, trade and the environment, but has been mostly inactive since.

In 2007 Fernandez appointed the ambassador Maria Elena Muñoz for the Dominican part, and as advisers Bernardo Vega, Alfredo Lozano and Frank Marino Hernandez, who recently passed away.

What exactly does haiti produce other than babies to import into DR? And what money does haiti have to buy products from DR?

Do you have friend that have been to school ?? before making ignorant comment as per above, you should have at least the decency to google them first.

My hope you are in the minority.

haitian4life,

Whos the most racist people in america? usually poor whites. Why? There's only a handful of "intellectuals" who make themselves feel big by talking about haiti.

Most of the poeple on here have good ideas and want to see a thriving haiti. Naturally the grunts who can't climb the social ladder have a I'm better than you mentallity. The international community says no more. All investments will be on both sides of the island.
Remember haiti is the last virging territory in the caribbean and the money will be flowing in. Let's hope some of it stays in haiti.

Dessalines1804:

Preparation H will aleviate your zombie thinking; Haitian History is full of garbabe; Haiti is a piece of dirt in the Western hemisphere and you are talking like Haitians are nordics, HOLY COW is like saying the TURKS used to ruled half of europe and the middle east, at the moment in 2010 this is fantasy no reality.

England used to occupy and rule the US but today the US is more powerful than England so living in "dirt cookies" thinking doesn't help" brother; Israel is the most civilized place in the middle east regardless how rich the arabs can be in oil.

Your country must be domesticated by an "Apartheid" system and hopefully You can take all the white BS out of your minds.

Ohhh boy , and the mud eaters coming by the thousands...

Dessalines1804 AKA what ever other old troll in here who created an account.

- First there's no such thing as Haitian blood you dumbass.
- Second, Not many Haitians where assimilated in our culture enough in that period of 25 years to do some mayor or minimum effect.
- Third who told you we Dominicans ( the majority) want any unification with Haiti, that's ridiculous, I bet your people would love the idea of unification more than us since they know that if that happens all you mud eaters would come to this side of the island by the millions.

- About us being superior, I'll consider that as a fact LIKE IT OR NOT!. not only because we kicked you asses in wars, but we achieved to build our nation in a better position economically and socially, and while that was happening what did you Mud eaters did? JUST STAND THERE, HAVE SEX, AND BRING TONS OF KIDS TO THIS SIDE OF THE ISLAND, NOW THAT'S WHAT A CALL INFERIORITY! :

Unify both sides is not the answer... Once Haiti's economy is stable the people will move back. It benefits both sides if both countries are healthy... The island with 2 countries can become an even bigger power house.

So many investors have millions in DR and to unify will cause DR to be unstable and drive investors away... DR can not even take care of all of its poor people imagine if they add the poor from Haiti...

Dessalines1804,

Succubus is the type that sits on the Malecon under a tree holding a book upside down pretending to read. The only ones he can impress are his illiterate cronies.
Facts are facts.
Succubus why dont you wear a tshirt and state those feelings. Wear it everywhere you go. The world knows the truth so you only make yourself look real smart.

Dessalines you will see the same 7 people praising trujillo and trashing haitians. You know the type poor and can't get ahead so to make themselves feel important they trash imiigrants (haitians).

Xwill you are on the money. The investors now say no more investing on one side. It looks like unfication is in the works.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haiti's population will continue to grow quickly despite the tremendous loss of life in the January earthquake, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released Monday.

The bureau estimates Haiti's current population at 9.6 million, based on an estimated quake death toll of 230,000.

It projects the impoverished country will recover and surpass its pre-quake population level by 2012. By 2050, the bureau says, Haiti will have 13.4 million people.

Reproducing in a impoverished nation isn't doing Haiti or DR, for that matter any good.What the Haitians need is population control. "Overcrowding is already blamed by aid workers and experts for many of Haiti's woes, from environmental degredation and hunger to the deaths of thousands crushed by stacked concrete homes during the earthquake."
