The mission, headed by the OAS secretary for political affairs, Francisco Guerrero of Mexico, will initiate its work in Santo Domingo today and will end its activities in Haiti on July 14th.

Deployed at the invitation of the Dominican and Haitian governments, the special mission of a technical and impartial nature is guided, according to Guerrero, “by the will to build bridges between the two countries in order to find a lasting solution to the dispute.”
