[DR1] Alburquerque speaks in Vienna

[NewsWhore]

Dominican Vice-President Rafael Alburquerque has addressed the European-Latin America Summit in Vienna, Austria. He focused on the fact that developing countries, with poor economies, such as those in Latin America and the Caribbean, cannot integrate with developed countries under equal terms. Alburquerque is heading the Dominican delegation to the summit, and in his speech he emphasized the differences in every field that separate developing nations, like the DR, from the industrialized nations. The speech was entitled "The fight against poverty, inequality and cohesion: The Dominican Republic experience." The VP said that if these huge differences were not taken into consideration, inequality and social vulnerability would only increase. He suggested that the preferential treatments outlined in the Cotonou Accords should be substituted for others that are more in line with the rules of World Trade Organization (WTO).
