Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic, through the Dominican Institute of Civil Aviation, Idac, joins the chain of events held in several Latin American countries, to commemorate the Independence of Mexico, with a floral offering in the Plaza Querétaro, located in front of the body in charge of the supervision and control of civil aeronautics in this country.
The commemoration of the 214th anniversary of the Independence of the United Mexican States is a reason for the Dominican Republic, as a State, to reaffirm the friendly ties and mutual cooperation that have historically united both countries.
During the floral offering, which was attended by His Excellency Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Aztec country, Carlos Miguel Aysa González and his diplomatic delegation, the Deputy Director General of Idac, Paola Aimée Plá Puello, on behalf of the Director General, Igor Rodríguez Durán, expressed the commitment to continue honoring the good commercial, diplomatic and friendly relations that define Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
“On this day let us renew our commitment to the values of independence, equality, justice and human dignity. May our love for this homeland inspire us to continue working for a bright future for our generations. Let us proudly celebrate Mexico’s independence, live our present with hope and build our future with determination,” said Plá Puello.
Mexico’s Cry of Independence is commemorated every September 16, the date on which, in 1810, Miguel Hidalgo, together with a group of patriots with a desire for justice, began a revolution that would forever change the course of its history.
“From heroes like José María Morelos, Vicente Guerrero and Juan Aldama, to the anonymous citizens who gave their lives for the cause, the sacrifice and bravery of these individuals are a legacy that we must honor and remember. They showed that freedom is not given away; it is conquered with effort and with the will of a people,” emphasized the Idac oficial.
General Martín Alfonso Sandoval Quesney, Military and Air Attaché of the Mexican embassy in the country, also expressed himself, who recounted the efforts and sacrifices made by the heroes of that time to the homeland of Benito Juárez, highlighting that for Mexicans, this date symbolizes being part of the foundations of the existence of their nation.
“Today, 214 years after the Cry of Dolores and the proclamation of the independence of our country, those of us who work in the embassy and represent Mexico before the people and authorities of the Dominican Republic, have the firm commitment to continue cooperating and making efforts that allow us to strengthen each other, for the development of our nations,” Sandoval Quesney said.
Ambassador Aysa González was accompanied by a delegation of officials made up of General Martín Alfonso Sandoval Quesney, Military and Air Attaché; José Julio Gómez, Deputy Minister of Bilateral Foreign Policy and Denisse Cabral, Director of Relations with Latin America, of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Rear Admiral Segundo Ventura García, Commander of the Southern Command of the Armed Forces and representative of the Ministry of Defense.
The deputy director general of Idac was accompanied by the area directors, managers, coordinators and collaborators of the institution who joined the tributes that are paid on behalf of the Dominican Republic to Mexico and its Independence.
