Brendan Sutton, Ambassador of Canada to the Dominican Republic

Message
It is a pleasure to serve as Canada's Ambassador to the Dominican Republic.
The Dominican Republic is a stable and reliable partner and one of the Caribbean's most dynamic and fast-growing economies. As Canada seeks to expand and diversify its commercial relationships and strengthen economic resilience, the Dominican Republic stands out as a natural partner.
Canada brings together capital, advanced technological capabilities, and world-class expertise. These advantages create opportunities for collaboration in areas such as responsible resource development, including critical minerals, as well as advanced manufacturing, clean technology, and agriculture and agri-food. Canada and the Dominican Republic also share an interest in addressing common challenges in the Caribbean, including organized crime, drug trafficking, and maritime security.
I believe lasting partnerships are built through trust, transparency, and a demonstrated commitment to follow through over the long term. As Ambassador, I look forward to building on Canada's reputation as a trusted and reliable partner, focused on practical cooperation and mutual benefit.
Hundreds of thousands of Canadians travel to the Dominican Republic each year to enjoy its natural beauty, culture, and hospitality. Whenever Canadians travel abroad, they are subject to local laws. It is the responsibility of every traveller to familiarize themselves with travel conditions, as well as local laws and customs. I encourage all Canadians travelling to the Dominican Republic to consult Canada's Travel Advice and Advisories before their trip.
My team and I look forward to working with our counterparts and partners across the Dominican Republic to advance Canada's interests and further strengthen this important relationship.
