New business opportunities to boost a greater commercial flow between Cuba and the Dominican Republic were analyzed on Monday in Havana by a group of entrepreneurs from the two nations.
Attending the meeting, organized by the Cuban Chamber of Commerce, were representatives of several Dominican Republic enterprises, headed by Eddy Martinez, general secretary and executive director of the Center for Exports and Foreign Investment.
Martinez told the press about his interest in significantly consolidating bonds in the fields of trade, cooperation and investment, “because in addition to fraternity, there’s still economic potential that has not been exploited between the two countries.”
He explained that this type of meeting represents new opportunities of development for Cuban and Dominican Republic enterprises, in order to generate more riches and jobs. He added that, at present, the commercial flow between the two parties is around $60 million a year, a figure still insufficient, when compared to what is obtained from their trade with the rest of the world.
That’s the reason why it is hoped, he said, that during the meeting between the two countries’ delegations, projects and joint work agreements, particularly in sectors like energy, food, health, mining, manufacture and services, are established — a priority for their economies.
