The DR's potential participation as an observer in the African Union and the DR's cooperation with Algeria and Angola in the areas of electricity, are strengthening the country's relationship with the African continent.
On his return from accompanying President Leonel Fernandez on his 10-day trip to the Middle East, Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso says that these African nations are now among the DR's strongest allies.
Morales met with several leading African diplomatic figures while attending the Non-Aligned Movement Summit in Egypt.
Listin Diario reports that the DR's diplomatic corps in Egypt will head the DR's efforts on the African continent.
Morales also commented on the possibility of the Algerian company Sonatrach sending a delegation to the DR to study cooperation between both countries. Sonatrach, the 11th largest petroleum consortium in the world, is considering the DR as a trans-shipment point for penetrating the Latin American market.
