Following a meeting between the British Foreign Secretary William Hague and his Dominican counterpart Foreign Relations Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso in January 2012 at which they agreed to seek a Memorandum of Understanding as a way of symbolizing the growing bilateral relationship between the two countries, yesterday Thursday 21 June they signed the Memorandum on Bilateral Cooperation between the UK and the DR.
The MoU covers a number of areas including the promotion of trade and investment, co-ordination in the fight against illegal drug trafficking and working together to address the threat of climate change.
The Foreign Secretary said: "The Dominican Republic is an excellent trade and investment partner, we have a great relationship over security and this indicates our increasing engagement in the Latin-America and Caribbean region. It gives me great pleasure to sign this Memorandum of Understanding on Bilateral Co-operation with the Dominican Republic".
He congratulated Morales Troncoso on the recent election result and also said that there would be a simplification of the system of UK visa allocation to Dominican citizens in order to encourage the climate of commerce, investment and tourism with the DR.
The UK is the fifth largest investor in the DR with a small number of large, diverse investments in various sectors including manufacturing, power generation and tourism.
