Santo Domingo.- President Luis Abinader of the Dominican Republic recently welcomed Tang Renjian, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, in his office. Their meeting focused on discussing various matters of mutual interest between the two nations.
China, recognized as a global leader in agriculture, boasts significant production of crops like rice, wheat, tomatoes, and soybeans.
