Dominican Republic diplomat Carlos Guillén has been freed four days after he was abducted by a gang in Haiti.
The Dominican Republic's foreign minister, Roberto Álvarez, wrote on Twitter that Mr. Guillén was safe.
Mr. Álvarez did not say how Mr. Guillén was freed but thanked all those who actively took part in his release.
Kidnappings for ransom have surged in Haiti in the last two years.
According to Haiti's Center for Analysis and Research on Human Rights, more than 1,200 people - 81 of them foreign nationals - were abducted last year.
One of Haiti's most powerful gangs, 400 Mawozo, is thought to be behind many of the kidnappings, including that of Mr. Guillén.
