President Luis Abinader arrived a few minutes ago in Puerto Rico, where he will attend the inauguration of the island’s new governor, Pedro Pierluisi.

Abinader left the country at 8:30 a.m. on a private flight through San Isidro Air Base and was fired by Vice President Raquel Peña and other civilian and military officials.

The President is accompanied by the President’s Administrative Minister, José Ignacio Paliza, and Foreign Minister Roberto Álvarez. It is the president’s first trip abroad, after he took over the country on August 16.

Agenda

The head of state and his entourage are expected to be received at the Chapter at 9:35 a.m.

At 10 o’clock in the morning he will have a meeting with Pierluisi, for half an hour later to begin the opening ceremony.

This event will consist of a parade of colors, the interpretation of the official anthems, the religious invocation of the place, the presentation of special guests, the inauguration of the governor, the governor’s speech and the corresponding military honors.

At noon, the ceremony mentioned above will end. At 12:30 pm Abinader and his commission are expected to be on board a plane, at Fernando Luis Rivas Dominicci Airport, to return to the country.

The participation of the head of state in the inauguration of Pierluisi was announced earlier this week.
