President Danilo Medina received former Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla at the Presidential Palace on Monday, 10 June 2019. Chinchilla was president of Costa Rica from 2010 to 2014.
The Presidency reported Chinchilla praised the economic growth of the past seven years. “I see this economic growth with envy, with a lot of envy, because the Dominican Republic, along with Panama, has been practically flying and that is the best news for any country, because when an economy grows it generates jobs and that has repercussions for the people,” she said at the end of the meeting.
The Dominican economy grew 7.2% in November 2018 and closed the year at 7.0%.
The former president of Costa Rica says she has always had an excellent relationship with President Danilo Medina. She said her visit is at the request of the Madrid Club and the National Migration Institute of the Dominican Republic to share experiences, observe good practices regarding migratory flows and at the same time to bring some recommendations.
