President Abinader conducts high-level diplomatic agenda in New York

Dominican President Luis Abinader is conducting an extensive diplomatic agenda in New York during the 81st UN General Assembly. Key discussions include the need for a regional artificial intelligence strategy for Latin America, with Abinader advocating for simultaneous technological development and regulation.

On economic and resource matters, Abinader highlighted the country's potential in rare earth minerals, noting a collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and projecting exports to begin by 2028. He also discussed the 'Meta RD 2036' initiative, aimed at doubling the national economy, and reported that poverty levels have decreased from 25.9% in 2019 to 17%.

Security and trade remain central to his mission. Abinader participated in the 'Escudo de las Américas' initiative led by Donald Trump to combat transnational organized crime. Additionally, he is negotiating with the United States to protect Dominican rice production under the DR-CAFTA framework. His agenda also includes addressing the crisis in Haiti and strengthening bilateral ties with regional leaders, such as Peru's Keiko Fujimori.
