Dominican Republic regional anti-crime initiatives
Overview
In early October 2026, the Dominican Republic increased its focus on regional legal cooperation during the Ibero-American Association of Public Ministries (AIAMP) assembly in Peru. Attorney General Yeni Berenice Reynoso advocated for a “Framework Agreement for Reinforced Cooperation” to address transnational crimes such as money laundering, human trafficking, and illegal mining. During this assembly, the Dominican Republic was selected to assume the AIAMP Vice Presidency for North America and the Caribbean.
By late October 2026, the focus shifted toward defense and security coordination through the Americas Coalition Against Cartels (A3C) summit in Santo Domingo. Hosted by the Dominican Republic and the United States, the summit involved security authorities from 19 nations. The meeting aimed to formalize an operational strategic plan and governance charter to combat drug trafficking and narcoterrorism. President Luis Abinader called for a transition from diplomatic commitments to “verifiable results and concrete actions” to disrupt the logistics and financing of criminal organizations.
