The President also said that the construction of the port of Cabo Rojo, in the province of Pedernales, which will begin to disembark tourists in November 2023, has begun.

In this regard, President Luis Abinader also announced that the construction of the first hotel in that area of the South is already being put out to bid and that the bids for all the projects of the first phase, which total 11, will be uploaded on a monthly basis.

The head of state also announced that the designs for the construction of the International Airport of Pedernales, which will be of fundamental support to promote tourism in that region, are almost ready.

In addition, the shipyard project has been awarded and the new wharf is under bidding.

“Smaller in size, but with the same impetus, work will also begin on the Bergantín project in Puerto Plata in the coming weeks, after more than a year of designs,” the president noted.

Alliance for Development in Democracy

He emphasized that, for the first time in the international arena, we are taking the initiative with bold measures, such as the creation of the Alliance for Development in Democracy, founded in September last year, jointly by Costa Rica, Panama and the Dominican Republic, with the objective of seeking development through transparent processes and respectful of human rights.

The governor said that this alliance, focused on cooperation, trade and the search for investment, has already met four times, and will meet again this September in New York to celebrate its first anniversary. Its impact has been such that, at the last summit in Los Angeles, Ecuador asked to join, while the European Union and Canada have asked to be observers in the future.

On Haiti

President Luis Abinader stated that, if the Dominican Republic has an international concern, it is about the situation of our neighboring country, Haiti, with whom in the year 2021 we agreed to build a border fence, which will order our trade, help us in the control of immigration, the fight against the trafficking of arms, drugs and other forms of crime.

He added that the works have already begun, and at this moment we are in the first phase of construction of the initial 54 kilometers.

“As you can see, the Dominican Republic is advancing on all fronts and is well on its way to development. You can be sure that we will achieve our objectives, with effort and overcoming difficulties”, said the President.
