Dominicans soon to not need visas to travel to Uruguay
Foreign Minister Miguel Vargas was in Montevideo, Uruguay on 16 May 2018 where he signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation of Consular Services with the Ministry of Foreign Relations of Uruguay. The next step is for the Minister of Foreign Relations Rodolfo Nin Novoa of Uruguay to visit the Dominican Republic in the second half of the year for the signing of the agreement that would eliminate the requirement of tourism and business visas for Dominicans and Uruguayans. Vargas says this will mean an increase in the flow of tourists and investors between both countries.
The agreement also establishes a task group and the training of officers of both ministries, the exchange of information, experiences and documentation, and development of joint projects in consular matters.
During the meeting in Uruguay, Vargas and the Dominican delegation also focused on the possibility of the Dominican Republic advancing to member status in the Latin American Integration Association (ALADI). At present the DR is an observer nation. Also participating for the Dominican Republic were Alejandro de la Peña and Hugo Rivera.
