President of Haiti Jovenel Moïse visited the installations of the border free zone company Codevi of Grupo M in the Dominican Republic to personally get to know job creation opportunities under the bi-national initiative promoted by the Quisqueya Binational Economic Council. He met with Fernando Capellán of Grupo M and businessman Juan Vicini. The group stresses that job creation in Haiti is the best way to reduce Haitian migration to the Dominican Republic and therefore the program is a win-win for both countries. As reported in Diario Libre, Moïse demonstrated his satisfaction on the impact Codevi has had in the Haitian population in Ouanaminthe and said his government would back the public-private initiative.
Also participating in the meeting were Ouanaminthe mayor Luma Demetrus, senator Wanique Pierre, Dajabón senator Sonia Mateo, Dajabón governor Ramona Rodriguez, and Anibal Capellán, Cristian Capellán and Victor Thomas of the Codevi management.
