I congratulate President Luis Abinader on his inauguration. Bound by our common commitment to democracy—and deep cultural ties—the Dominican Republic and the United States are close friends and partners. As President Abinader begins his second term, we stand ready to support him and his administration in their efforts to secure a prosperous future for the people of the Dominican Republic.
