President Leonel Fernandez arrived in Guatemala yesterday evening for a first state visit by a Dominican President. He is scheduled to meet with his counterpart President Alvaro Colom at the Presidential Palace. He will also meet Vice President Jose Rafael Espada, and Foreign Relations Minister Haroldo Rodas Melgar today. His schedule also includes meetings with the president of Guatemala's Supreme Court of Justice, Luis Arturo Archila.
Economy & Planning Minister Temistocles Montas and Presidency Minister Cesar Pina Toribio are traveling with Fernandez, as reported in Diario Libre.
Guatemala is the Central American country with the highest level of foreign investment in the DR, estimated at US$500 million, said Morales Troncoso. Fernandez has scheduled meetings with Guatemalan business leaders who are interested in investing in the DR.
Morales said more work is needed to increase Dominican exports. The DR has a trade deficit with Guatemala.
On this trip abroad, Fernandez is also scheduled to travel to Rio de Janeiro, where he will participate in the World Economic Forum Latin American talks.
President Fernandez flew to Guatemala on a private Boeing 737 with capacity for 149 passengers.
