The DR is attending the Caricom's 30th Conference of Heads of State and Government. While the DR is partnered with Caricom in Cariforum, the DR has failed to become a full member of Caricom for a raft of reasons.
However, discussions at the conference, being held in Guyana between 2 and 5 July, could forge the path to the DR's integration in the regional trading block.
Cesar Dargam Espaillat, Executive Secretary of the National Trade Negotiations Commission, commented, "this is an opportunity for the country to reaffirm its commitment to strengthening relations with Caricom, paying attention to the realities of the region, and following the commitments of the Cariforum."
Dargam said that DR officials have been adamant about strengthening relations with Caricom and creating a more participative and transparent Caricom that benefits the region.
