Dominican Ambassador in Haiti Jose Serulle says that there is no better time than the present for the DR to sign a trade agreement with Haiti. He added that both governments are feeling the urgency. Serulle favors a broad-based agreement that is fair and helps strengthen relations between both nations. According to Serulle, both the DR and Haiti represent an important market and an agreement would only facilitate inter-country trade. Officials from both countries have consistently spoken of the need for an agreement, yet neither side has made any concrete moves to start the process.
