The gathering will unite government officials, business leaders, cultural ambassadors, and members of the Dominican diaspora, underscoring the nation’s evolving role as a strategic partner for Spain. The opening ceremony, to be held at the Meliá Fénix Hotel, will feature prominent figures including Ambassador Tony Raful, Minister of Industry and Commerce Víctor “Ito” Bisonó, Minister of Culture Roberto Salcedo, and Santo Domingo Mayor Carolina Mejía. They will honor the founders of SEDE and celebrate the Dominican community’s contributions to strengthening bilateral relations.
