He says the development of the port by Qatar investors could turn the country into a regional center for the distribution of natural gas sourced from the Middle East. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuello said to attract the investors, the government needs to present a cost-benefit study. He explained the natural gas distribution center could be of interest to both Qatar and the United States, an importer of natural gas. \u201cThe center would fill the void left by Venezuela,\u201d said Cuello. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuello started as the Dominican ambassador in Qatar in March 2019. Previously he was the Dominican ambassador in the United Kingdom. He said he is working on setting up a Dominican Chamber of Commerce in Qatar and developing a Dominican Week in order to create new awareness in both countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He announced soon there will be direct flights to Doha. He said there are already businessmen interested in investing in tourism projects in Miches, Cap Cana and Punta Cana in the east. He said talks are ongoing for creating a regional hub here for Qatar Airlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/eldia.com.do\/pais-requiere-desarrollar-estrategia-de-promocion-en-el-continente-asiatico\/\">El&nbsp;Dia<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/eldia.com.do\/pais-atraera-nuevas-inversiones-con-estudios-de-factibilidad\/\">El&nbsp;Dia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7 May 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dominican ambassador in Qatar, Federico Cuello told El Dia reporters that investors from that country are exploring participating in the development of the Manzanillo port in northwestern Montecristi.
