The Caribbean Council is delighted to invite members to a roundtable with the new British Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, HE Dr Carol Van der Walt.

The event will take place on 11th September from 3pm to 5pm at a venue in Central London.

Carol will make a short presentation on the current political/economic situation in DR, the business environment there and specific areas of opportunity.

We will then have opportunity for Q&A and a discussion around the table with opportunity to raise any specific points or issues.  After the meeting, there will be informal networking over tea and coffee.

The meeting will be an excellent opportunity to meet the Ambassador and to hear about new developments in the market ahead of our UK Business Mission to DR in October.
