Foreign Relations minister calls on universities to defend the country

Santo Domingo.– Foreign Relations minister Andres Navarro met Friday with rectors and vice rectors of 19 universities to explain the scope of the government Program to Regularize Foreigners and the National Human Rights Plan.

During the meeting, held at the Foreign Relations Ministry, Navarro called for the support of the universities for the success of the new migratory policy based on the Constitution of the Republic, national laws and international conventions the Dominican Republic is a signatory of, elnuevodiario.com.do reported.

"Academia can play a key role in the implementation of this regulatory tool for undocumented migration in the country and that is why we have wanted you to be sufficiently informed on this mechanism and the government’s efforts following the international smear campaign against the country," Navarro pointed out.
