Dominican businesspeople working together as the Quisqueya Bi-National Economic Council presented their proposals for investment on the border with Haiti to visiting commissioners from the Club de Madrid, former President Andres Pastrana of Colombia and former President Sebastian Pinera of Chile last week. Juan Vicini headed the presentation of the project, which is aimed at development and job creation, during a recent meeting at Casa de Campo. As reported in Diario Libre, the project will be implemented in four sectors and geographical areas: Dajabon-Ouanaminthe for industrial development, Comendador-Belladere for farming, Jimani-Malpasse for energy, and Pedernales-Anse-a-Pitre for tourism development.
Vicini said that the Quisqueya Bilateral has already invested US$3 million in technical studies. He said the plan is to develop a US$5 billion investment fund for the projects.
PRSC deputy Victor Bisono, who is the president of the Public Policies Analysis Center (CAPP), coordinated the meeting, which took place on Saturday, 23 May 2015.
