President Leonel Fernandez has attended the inauguration of the Caribbean Regional Customs Training Center, named in honor of Professor Juan Bosch. The project was constructed at a cost of RD$425 million by the Customs Department (DGA) and is located on the 17th kilometer of Las Americas Highway. During the ceremony, Fernandez congratulated Customs director Miguel Cocco. Cocco spoke about the Center, saying that it was built without being a burden to the state. He said that the DGA is no longer a place for opportunistic people who want to become wealthy overnight. Cocco says that the World Customs Organization (WCA) is supporting the Center, which will provide training for customs employees and high-ranking officials from around the hemisphere.
