Guido Gómez denies US warning is related to Viettel tender

Guido Gómez Mazara, president of the board of directors of the Dominican Institute of Telecommunications (Indotel), has publicly rejected the suggestion that a recent warning issued by the United States Embassy in the Dominican Republic is linked to the Viettel tender process. The embassy’s statement, posted on its official X account last week, cautioned against potential risks associated with telecommunications infrastructure.

Gómez Mazara’s comments serve as a formal dismissal of speculation connecting the diplomatic alert to the ongoing bidding process involving the Vietnamese telecommunications firm. The situation highlights ongoing scrutiny regarding international involvement in the country's telecommunications sector.
