This forum will be key to reactivating the economic agenda of Ibero-America and strengthening cooperation between governments, entrepreneurs, and civil society.\n\nThe Dominican head of state expressed that the Dominican Republic is experiencing a historic moment to seize the opportunities arising from the reconfiguration of value chains, the energy transition, and digitalization, positioning the country at the center of a new global economic map.\n\nHe also pointed out that the Caribbean nation has promoted high-impact projects in key sectors such as infrastructure, renewable energy, tourism, and education, with an investment exceeding 800 billion pesos.\n\nIn that sense, President Abinader explained that the tourism industry has reached record figures, with almost 12 million annual visitors. He also highlighted the development of new tourist destinations in places like Pedernales and Miches in El Seibo, which are attracting national and international investments.\n\n\n

As a first look, he revealed an innovative project related to rare earth mining, the largest known deposit in Latin America, which could position the Dominican Republic as a key player in the global economy.\n\n\n

Upon concluding, President Abinader ended his speech with an inspiring message, recalling the importance of freedom, honesty, and idealism to build a better future. \u201cDreaming like Don Quixote is not denying reality, it is illuminating it\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
