Santo Domingo.– Dominican industry leaders met with Thierry Mayard-Paul, Haiti's minister of Interior and Local Authorities, to
explore business opportunities existing in Haiti.
According to Jaime Malla, the president of Productos Quimicos Industriales, the meeting was very productive. "I think it's like a
platform, these steps are highly significant."
Minister Mayard Pau informed the Dominicans industrialists that President
Michel Martelly wanted to turn Haiti into a nation socially just,
politically independent, with a free economy, decentralized and
sustainable.
He also expressed his satisfaction with
the positive attitude of the Dominican delegation. "The Dominican businessmen were able to appreciate, visually, our will to grow
from a free market economy and through a decentralization plan based on
job creation, not only in Port-au-Prince, but especially in our province cities."

If President Michel Martelly wants to "turn Haiti into a nation socially just, politically independent, with a free economy, decentralized and sustainable", why on earth would he talk to the Dominican Republic?

That's quite a mystery, Roy. Besides, with all the excess human power in DR, why would anyone want to go that far to find cheap labor?

In my opinion, why do we have to expect that highly developed nation take a step forward...The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are I think we are intelligent enough to reach out for a viable solution to both nations,,,,, we have been understimated by many of those powerful nations.....but like I said before....intelligence knows no frontiers,,,,,and I think this the best way to go...I think we can reach a common ground....hopefully in the long run, it might be good for all of us....

Cheaper labor ? What else Haiti could gives
-----------------------------------
Haiti minimum wage is half of DR $4.50 USD a day compare to DR rate of close to $9 . It's a win win for DR manufacturing and assembly sector. Haiti is in the process of Modernizing it's energy sector a contract for 48 mil USD was awarded to a French Firm a few days ago to rehabilitated and modernized the Peligre Hydro electric dam. Translation reducing the cost of energy. I will guaranty you the new trend will be DR companies moving to Haiti in the quest for higher profit.
