Foreign Relations Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso has opened the first workshop for Dominican suppliers interested in working on the reconstruction of Haiti with the participation of the United Nations, the Mission for Stabilization of Haiti (Minustah), Dominican ambassador in Haiti Ruben Silie, and the Dominican ambassador at the UN in New York, Federico Cuello, among others.
A total of 230 Dominican companies registered for the conference. Morales highlighted the fact that companies from all around the world will be bidding in the tenders convened by the United Nations and Minustah to supply the goods and services needed for Haiti's reconstruction. Morales Troncoso encouraged businessmen to position the country as the leading supplier to Haiti.
Ambassador Federico Cuello said that United Nations purchases in the DR totaled around US$1 million after the tragedy in Haiti, up from zero in 2009. He said that the purpose of the workshop was to educate Dominican companies so they are better prepared to qualify in the tenders.
