He explained that this strategy is based on linking development with security, emphasizing the need to strengthen social justice, entrench the rule of law, and guarantee equality in rights and duties. It also includes an intellectual dimension focused on promoting the values of moderation and balance, and on consolidating the principles of fraternity, mutual respect, cooperation, and solidarity
