With a delegation of more than 110 businessmen and officials from the Dominican Republic and the United Kingdom, the IX version of the Dominican Week, which is traditionally held in the British capital and which seeks to strengthen commercial ties between the two nations, kicked off this Monday.

“The Dominican week is the main opportunity we have to take advantage of a rich agenda where we encourage doing business and at the same time strengthen cultural ties between our countries, and promote important ministerial meetings that impact the development of the binational agenda between the UK and the Dominican Republic,” said Vasquez.
The program of activities began with an exhibition of the INICIA Firm, led by the president of the firm, Felipe Vicini, and includes not only events where attendees can take advantage of the opportunity to do new business, but also cultural activities.
