Representatives from the European Union, international organizations, and representatives from the Dominican and Haitian governments, inaugurated the construction of the RD$210 million binational market in the border province of Dajabon. This will be a place where Dominican and Haitian merchants can trade. The inauguration took place where the site will be erected, at the edge of the Masacre River. The river acts as a border for the two countries.
