Santo Domingo, Jan 18 (Prensa Latina) Haiti's President Rene Preval and Dominican Republic's Leonel Fernandez, as well as representatives from other countries carry out on Monday in this capital a preparatory meeting for a World Summit on Haiti.

Iran Sends 30 Tons of Humanitarian Aid to Haiti Spain's First Vice President Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, who visited the neighboring nation on Sunday, will attend the meeting, the Direction of Information, Press and Publicity Office of the Presidency stated.

Fernandez de la Vega ratified on Sunday the European Union's commitment, which Spain presides over the first semester of the year, of sending all possible aid to Haiti, devastated by an earthquake on January 12.

According to the official note, the main issue of the discussion will be how the international cooperation aimed to Haiti turns into a short-mid term project.

Fernandez, Preval and Haiti's Prime Minister Jean Max Bellerive already analyzed the general guidelines of the program, when the Dominican president visited Port-au-Prince on Thursday.

Fernandez invited representatives from multilateral organizations like the United Nations, the World Bank, the Caribbean Community, the Inter-American Development Bank, and other regional cooperation entities.
