DR and Canada stir rumors

[NewsWhore]

The DR and Canada have resumed free trade talks, according to the Ministry of Foreign Relations. Deputy Minister Manuel Trullols explains that both sides have agreed to exchange information and continue developing the foundation for trade negotiations. The Canadian Embassy is compiling updates on investment, cooperation, competitiveness, commercial rights, the environment and tourism to prepare for the agreement. Dominican officials explained that negotiations had been put on hold because the DR had given preference to negotiating DR-CAFTA with the US. Once those talks were completed, the DR moved on talks with the European Union and Caribbean Community. These were concluded with the approval of the European Partnership Agreement, early this year, albeit with opposition from Caricom states. Regardless, the time seems to have come to give priority to the Canadian trade talks.
