The signing of agreements took place after a meeting between the Dominican official and her Indian counterpart, Jagdeep Dhankhar, in New Delhi.

During the meeting, Dhankhar and Peña discussed ways to improve collaboration in the sectors of trade, pharmaceuticals, information and communications technology, agriculture, food processing, space, higher education, capacity building, as well as Ayurveda and Yoga.

The day before, the Dominican Vice President spoke with Foreign Minister Subrahmanyan Jaishankar after her visit to President Droupadi Murmu.

At Shtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, Murmu and Peña agreed on the fruitfulness of their visit for bilateral ties.

Likewise, the Indian president described as appropriate the presence of the Dominican vice-president in India, since, she pointed out, it is taking place when both countries are celebrating 25 years of diplomatic ties.

Murmu assured that there is potential to work together and exchange experiences and knowledge in areas such as pharmaceuticals, marine sciences, meteorology, disaster-resistant infrastructure and digital payment technologies.
