The President-elect of Panama, Ricardo Martinelli visited Santo Domingo and met with President Leonel Fernandez at the National Palace on Friday, 19 June.
Martinelli and Fernandez spoke of ways to enhance the trade agreement in place with both countries. The Dominican Republic has a Partial Scope Agreement with Panama, signed on 2 November 2003. It allows for a specific list of products to enter both countries duty free, encompassing about 25% of all possible products. There are talks to increase the list to 100%, as Panama is negotiating with other Central American countries.
As reported in the Listin Diario, Martinelli praised the Santo Domingo Metro and expressed his interest in building one in Panama. "I am very happy to be in the DR because there is a lot to learn from this beautiful country, especially the Santo Domingo Metro that President Fernandez has built and is the pride and joy not only for the country, but for all Latin America, and we would like to copy what has been done here and make a Metro in Panama City," he said, as reported in Listin Diario.
