\u201cOur commitment is to support the strategy promoted by the Alliance, integrating the economy into critical sectors, fostering a collaborative environment that strengthens the local economy, and encouraging foreign investment. This will create new opportunities and jobs for our nations,\u201d Minister Bison\u00f3 stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the key topics discussed were the simplification of procedures, strengthening human capital, and consolidating value chains in strategic sectors such as medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The strategic importance of the Panama Canal, through which 5% of global trade flows, was also highlighted as a critical artery for connecting regional economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister Bison\u00f3 reiterated the Dominican government\u2019s commitment to strengthening logistics and trade between Panama and the Dominican Republic, promoting more competitive and resilient supply chains in line with the vision to establish both countries as key global trade hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
