The Presidency has confirmed President Danilo Medina will travel to Beijing in the People’s Republic of China on “Tuesday or Wednesday.” This is the first official visit of a Dominican statesman to China. The Presidency says the Dominican official delegation will sign at least 15 bilateral agreements with his colleague, President Xi Jinping. The Medina visit is a follow up to the signing of diplomatic relations in Beijing by Foreign Minister Miguel Vargas Maldonado on 1 May 2018.
The Presidency says that Medina will be accompanied by cabinet ministers who will be signing the cooperation agreements in matters of trade, infrastructure, finance and tourism. These have traveled ahead to China.
The Presidency announced Medina will meet with Chinese business people in Shanghai to encourage these to invest in the Dominican Republic.
The Presidency says the agreements will generate “lots of jobs” and the new diplomatic relations will have an impact especially in areas of international cooperation, trade, investment, infrastructure, education, among others of common interest, whose results will be seen immediately in the medium and long term.
