The Dominican ambassador in Chile, Pablo Marinez, has told Listin Diario that there is a good market for Dominican rum, coffee and cigar exports in Chile. He highlighted the many air connections, with direct flights by Lan Chile from Santiago de Chile to Punta Cana and connections with Copa Airlines through Panama and Taca through Lima, Peru. He said Chilean tourism to the DR has been increasing. In his opinion, Dominicans should learn more about Chile. "Chile is an example of what the DR should be. It has strong institutions and laws that are applied to all equally, without privileges," he said. He informed that the embassy was organizing a mission of Chilean business leaders to the DR and stated that for there to be more trade, more information on both Chilean and Dominican markets needs to be exchanged. Recently, the Dominican Embassy took part in the "Caribbean: Business Opportunities for Chile" seminar, organized by Chilean export promotion body Pro-Chile.
Sergio Ibarra, president of the Dominican Republic-Chile Chamber of Commerce believes that there would be more trade if the DR would sign a free trade agreement with Chile as it has with Central America and the Caribbean, the United States and Europe. He thinks that manufacturing in the DR could be advantageous to Chilean companies that want to export to those markets.
