On occasion of the celebration of Dominican Week in the United Kingdom, the president of the Association of Industries of the Dominican Republic (AIRD), Campos de Moya, highlighted the Dominican Republic is an ideal destination for trade connections between the United Kingdom and the Americas. De Moya highlighted that the Dominican Republic has the infrastructure and benefits necessary for British companies to base their Latin American business operations here. “Our country has the ports and logistical facilities that allow the UK and the region to be connected and thus increase the commercial development of our industries,” he said.
Dominican ambassador in London, Federico Cuello Camilo, added that the Dominican Republic is one of the few countries in the region that has a direct maritime connection with the United Kingdom.
De Moya and Cuello Camilo spoke at the Canning House in London in the framework of the 6th Dominican Week in the United Kingdom. Present were Minister of Industry and Commerce Nelson Toca Simó and the president of the British Chamber of Commerce in the Dominican Republic, José Rodríguez.
“On our south coast, DP World Caucedo has a direct connection to DP World London Gateway, with two ships, one from Hamburg Sud and another from CMC-CMG. And in the north, Manzanillo has weekly Geest Lines service to Portsmouth Harbor. These services guarantee less than 9 days of transit time to the United Kingdom, the lowest in Latin America and the Caribbean,” said the diplomat.
