The Dominican political leader explained to the Colombian President that the talks focus on three basic aspects: the
economic and social issue that includes food and drug supply; the respect between the public authorities, primarily between the Executive, the Judiciary and the National Assembly; as well as the establishment of a Commission of Truth, Justice and Reconciliation.
