Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Todd D. Robinson, is set to visit the Dominican Republic from October 8 to October 11. During his stay, he will engage with senior government officials, experts, and civil society organizations. The aim is to strengthen security cooperation against illicit synthetic drugs, corruption, and transnational organized crime.

This visit comes after Secretary Blinken's trip to Santo Domingo on September 5-6 and President Luis Abinader's participation in the Summit of the Global Coalition to Address Synthetic Drug Threats on September 24. At this summit, the Dominican Republic joined ten other coalition countries in making significant commitments to combat synthetic drug threats.
