  Border Dominican traders have decided to end a 15-day protest strike that was enacted after Haiti imposed a road ban on 23 products from its neighbor to the east.
  
  The biggest bilateral market located 290 kilometers (180 miles) northwest of Santo Domingo will be open every Monday and Friday, beginning Monday.
  
  The decision to end the strike came after meeting Sunday between the merchants and Dominican authorities – among them Foreign Minister Andrés Navarro, Minister of Industry and Trade José del Castillo and the Ambassador to Haiti Rubén Silié.
  
  Striking merchants and unions were ecnouraged to end the job action and allow merchandise and Haitians to enter the country, considering the current permanent dialogue with the Haitian government in an effort to improve commercial ties, including an upcoming meeting in Port–au–Prince between Dominican President Danilo Medina and Haitian President Michel Martelly.
