\n

T<\/SPAN>he Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico sealed their alliance to strengthen commerce, promote economic growth, employment and development. Dominican President, Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez, and Puerto Rico Governor, Luis Fortu\u00f1o, are committed to supporting this initiative with the objective of taking advantage of the commercial benefits offered in DR-CAFTA. <\/P>
\n

Fern\u00e1ndez stressed that “the only way to overcome this current crisis is being creative, imaginative and establishing alliances that help in the design of a development strategy.\u201d<\/P>
\n

At the signing ceremony of the Alliance, held in the Mayor\u2019s Office of Aguadilla, Fern\u00e1ndez and Fortu\u00f1o reiterated their intention to take advantage of other free trade agreements signed by the Dominican Republic with other countries and blocks of nations such as the recent agreement with the European Union Economic Association and the Caribbean Forum (CARIFORUM), reported the President\u2019s Office of Information, Press and Publicity. <\/P>
\n

At the meeting, Fern\u00e1ndez stressed that “the only way to overcome this current crisis is being creative, imaginative and establishing alliances that help in the design of a development strategy.\u201d He underscored, as a basic point in the joint declaration, the programs developed by Puerto Rico and the DR in the energy sector. <\/P>
\n

\u201cTo grow we need to move toward renewable energy projects and energy independence,\u201d expressed Fern\u00e1ndez. <\/P>
\n

Within the Alliance, the two leaders will carry out alternative energy programs to develop such options as ethanol, biodiesel and renewable energy. <\/P>
\n

In the area of commerce, Fern\u00e1ndez and Fortu\u00f1o agreed to undertake meetings with the private sector to strengthen economic exchange, identify mutual investment opportunities and to establish strategic business and commercial alliances. <\/P>
\n

Fortu\u00f1o expressed his intention to travel to the Dominican Republic this year with a group of business and commerce people interested in buying and selling of products and services. <\/P>
\n

The Governor of Puerto Rico said the renewal of the agreement will present a wide range of opportunities that \u201cwill benefit all citizens\u201d through the development of various common programs and projects. He added that Aguadilla\u2019s mayor, Carlos M\u00e9ndez, is developing a project to modernize the waterfront which, in his view, will have repercussions in the strengthening of interchange with the Dominican Republic. <\/P>
\n

As a symbol of brotherhood and solidarity between both people, they chose the figure of Eugenio Mar\u00eda de Hostos. Fern\u00e1ndez and Fortu\u00f1o agreed to foment the vision of multiculturalism as did this great thinking from the Caribbean. <\/P>
\n

Following the signing of the declaration of Strategic Alliance DR-PR, Fern\u00e1ndez and Fortu\u00f1o gave a joint press conference to members of the local media. <\/P>
