Santo Domingo.- The president of the Roundtable of Commonwealth Countries in the Dominican Republic, on Thur. labeled the Chamber of Deputies’ approval of the Economic Association Agreement between the country and Great Britain as very positive.
Fernando González Nicolás said the approval will protect national exports and British investments in the country, in addition to sending a message of “modernity and change in the current congressional management.”
