Meeting with Aznar

President Mejia met with Spanish head of government Jose Maria Aznar, where he signed an agreement to ease the exchange of judicial information in civil and commercial cases, and another to allow the husbands, wives and children of diplomatic personnel to hold jobs in the local labor market. Another agreement dealing with double taxation is also at the “understanding” stage. Aznar commented that the migratory agreement was working “stupendously”. Yesterday, the Dominican government announced an accord for the transfer of the use of the erstwhile governmental Telecommunications building on Isabel la Catolica Street in the Colonial City to the government of Spain. The building will reportedly be employed as the base for a Spanish center to promote Iberian culture throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.
