MOSCOW. - Russia announced Friday, on the eve of Dominican Foreign Relations minister Carlos Morales’ visit to Moscow, that it may open a diplomatic mission in Santo Domingo.
"The topics regarding the opening of a diplomatic representation in Dominican Republic are under study,” affirms Russia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry in a statement released by the local agency. It notes that a Russian honorary consulate operates in Santo Domingo since 1993.
The top Dominican diplomat will arrive in the Russian capital on Monday and the visit includes talks with Russian par Serguéi Lavrov, with leaders of both Houses of Parliament and other senior officials.
According to the Dominican Foreign Relations Ministry the patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, Kiril, will also meet with Morales.
“In Moscow the parts will exchange opinions on a series of current problems of global policy, and analyze the development of bilateral relations," the Russian Ministry adds. The visit by the head of Dominican diplomacy will "intensify the mutually beneficial political dialogue and establish cooperation diverse areas."
As part of his visit to Russia Morales will fly to St. Petersburg, Russia’s ancient imperial capital, where he’ll meet with local authorities.

I agree. DR should return the favor and start investing in business within those areas as well. Our culture has a lot to offer those countries. Dominican Food is enjoyed by many different cultures in NYC. The funny thing is that just yesterday alone I was chatting with some russian girls who were buying some pollo al carbon con arroz y habichuelas and they were ecstatic. With that said, there are numerous business sectors that could be infiltrated in these countries. Some need help in different areas like agriculture and telecommunications services. Some are not as good of trading partners as others but the efficiency of the chinese model has shown us the beauties of trades. The chinese trade with everyone who is anyone and yet they are communist. They have a net exporter economy and build products mainly for the rest of the world (the US being the biggest partner). Our country is not as rich as we'd like it to be in terms of natural resources, but the little it has is good.

DR should begin to look at certain areas that will help it in the future. Primarily, becoming self sufficient in agriculture in order to fight the commodities problem that is to come in the near future due to overpopulation and not enough supply in the Food industry (but demand is creeping higher and higher). Next, they should strive to be energy independent by producing the majority of their fuel domestically through renewable sources. Also, they should try the best with their abilities to invest in the people and education while also investing in the manufacturing sector. This last one will allow for them to build products at home and export them for trade abroad. Simple terms but very difficult to execute. However, Leonel (as bad a some say) has done some things that are gearing towards this like his strategy of not taxing the renewable industry for 10 years and also appealing to the emotions of foreign countries through the cloak of trade for investments.

Previously Quoted By Helen ( There are many Russians already here in your country. They are for one thing and one thing only - to make money from you all!)
Hey Helen, there are many English, Germans, Canadians, Italians and Americans already here in our country. they are here for one thing. To get our women and spot our natural resources to make money from us all........

I'm not after your women!!! I don't do women! All I can say on that part of your comment is - look after your women better!! I have yet to find a job that would at least pay the transport costs to get to work and home again. My life savings are depleted whilst trying to find a 'paid' job. The Russians are here to 'invest' and 'develop', to enlist your 'underworld' into their mafia circle - think about it!

I agree with Camano, Bleu. They come here for sex, sex, and more sex. and to take our resources. Now i'm not saying that all them do, but many do! Not to mention to belittle us beacause they got more moola!, they see that many get away with breaking the law, and I wont be surprised they follow suit. And then they say how Horrendous this socierty or these people are. If so, then Y move there in the 1st place??? OH, i alreday answered that.!

Rumours that more Russian planes are landing full of tourists. A local hotel had a show of Russian dancers performing Turkish Dance. Many people come to DR to start businesses and are very successful - I'm sure this will be ever more true of the Russians also.
DR is getting a wonderful cosmopolitan feel and and sure to become a focus of growth. There are many jobs in tourism and significant export sectors. Of course there are non-stop flights to Russia from the DR and the DR could become an important air transit sector for the Russians - avoiding visa problems of the US. Russia has huge resources , gold, oil etc. so although joint ventures may be possible I wouil doubt that it is resources they are after.
