Dominican government to cooperate with Amazonas State

Santo Domingo.- Ambassador Patricia Villegas de Jorge, representing the Dominican Republic in Brazil, made a landmark visit to the state of Amazonas. This visit marks the first official engagement by a Dominican diplomat in the region. She was accompanied by a technical delegation from the Dominican embassy, the Ministry of the Environment, and the honorary consul in Manaus.
