The DLP leader expressed joy that his government recorded tremendous successes in acquiring life-saving diagnostic equipment for the healthcare sector, made heavy investments in the digital economy, empowered the youths educationally and vocationally, improved access to agriculture and housing, as well as boosted milestone growths in the tourism sector.

He urged Dominicans to make themselves available for vaccination to curtail the spread of the pandemic and to safeguard the health of everyone across the country.

The challenges we face require collective response driven by love, respect and loyalty of country and people. Let us draw on our successes, renew our commitment to each other and to country and build for the future. The coming year holds much promise for us all.
