The Rio Group meeting continued yesterday with bi-lateral and multi-lateral sessions for participating foreign ministers. European Union Council president Frank-Walter Steinmeier met with Dominican Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso. Steinmeier arrived in the DR with a 47-person delegation yesterday, the first visit to the country by a German Foreign Relations Minister in 122 years. During the meeting Morales said that Germany is the DR's second largest European aid donor, after Spain, and Steinmeier commended the DR's hard work in the development process. Morales also mentioned that the Dominican authorities are considering an arrangement that would allow all people born in the European Union to enter the DR without a visa. Morales said that this would open the country up to a market of 480 million people.
