Enjoying broad space for cooperation, China and the Dominican Republic should speed up integration, and push forward cooperation in various fields, so as to translate the political decision of establishing bilateral diplomatic relations into tangible results as soon as possible. Time will definitely prove that the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Dominican Republic is a totally right decision, which completely conforms to the fundamental interests of the Dominican Republic and its people.
