The president Luis Abinader has announced his commitment to continue strengthening the ties between the Dominican Republic and Italy through the Italo‑Latin American Institute (IILA), a platform that promotes political, economic, scientific and cultural cooperation between the two countries and 20 Latin American partners.
Cooperation in Strategic Projects
During his visit to Rome, the leader highlighted IILA’s initiatives to develop Earth observation capabilities with the Italian Space Agency, focused on monitoring the sargassum affecting the Dominican coast. He also emphasized programs aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture in border areas and strengthening women’s business training.
Italy‑Dominican Republic Business Forum
On October 14, at Villa Madama, the Italy‑Dominican Republic Business Forum was held, where Abinader participated alongside entrepreneurs and officials from both sides. The event provided opportunities to expand investments, trade exchange, and collaboration between institutions and companies.
Recognitions and Commitments
During his visit to IILA on June 25, Abinader unveiled a commemorative plaque and signed the honor book in the Council Hall. He also received a medal bearing the image of Amintore Fanfani, the organization’s founder, as a symbol of friendship and cooperation between the nations.
Government of the Dominican Republic and IILA
The president reiterated his intention to support IILA’s activities, contributing to strengthening the relationship with Italy and promoting initiatives that benefit the region. In the 2026‑2028 period, the organization will elect Esteban Moscoso Bohman as president of the Council of Delegates, with the active participation of Dominican ambassador Rafael Antonio Lantigua Ciriaco and other delegates.
