The president highlighted the good relations<\/strong> existing between his government, both with the union sector<\/strong>, and the employers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nIn that sense, he said that those good relations are what have made the agreements and understanding<\/strong> possible.\n\nThe Dominican head of state showed himself to be in favor of dialogue<\/strong>, indicating that this does not mean that there are no debates. It is the place to discuss differences, to reach an agreement.<\/strong>\n\nPresident Abinader defended the agreement<\/strong> reached on salary matters<\/strong>, stating that: \u201cIt is not a personal achievement. That would not have been achieved if we did not have a union sector that defends its interests but is prudent, and a business sector that defends its<\/em>\u00a0interests but with social commitments\u201d.\n\n
