00:30I have a lot of information to share with you on this day.
00:33As every Tuesday, Dr. Luz Rosa Estrella brings us her health segment for the family,
00:40so that the family is strengthened.
00:43From Santiago de los Caballeros.
00:45And today we have a very special interview.
00:47We are going to talk with a great diplomat who has made a great mission in the Dominican Republic.
00:52He is the excellent Ambassador of India in the Dominican Republic, Ramo Abagani.
00:58And we will also be joined by Sócrates Benjamín Álvarez,
01:02who is very close to the Embassy of India in the Dominican Republic,
01:05a connoisseur of Asia and the Pacific,
01:08and a member of the Directorate of the Chamber of Commerce of the Dominican Republic.
01:15So we invite you to be with us this morning in the program.
01:19Let's start, gentlemen, with a video that has gone around the world, with millions of views.
01:26Let's see.
01:28President Macron.
01:30From France.
01:31From France. He is on a tour in Southeast Asia, starting with Vietnam.
01:36Let's see.
01:37Again.
01:38No, repeat it.
01:39Yes.
01:45Look.
01:46Brigitte Macron gave him, not a cookie, a tabaná, as they say here.
01:53And he diplomatically greeted him, tried to shake his hand.
02:00But those are not the images, wait.
02:03Those are not.
02:05Those are the doors of the plane.
02:09He is there.
02:10The door of the plane.
02:11He is there justifying.
02:15Look, Ramón, he justified himself, President Emmanuel Macron,
02:20nothing more and nothing less than the president of France.
02:22As we see, he looks like a movie star, right?
02:25And he has become famous, he has a temperament,
02:28he has done a great job as president of France.
02:30There, yes, you can see him yelling in the crowd.
02:32But it has also caught the attention that he is married to a lady
02:37who is 25 years older than him.
02:41That is, 25 years older than him.
02:44That is, she, to play for the cookie, she is a wife and a mother.
02:48But look at how he used discrimination, Jacqueline, television friend.
02:54That is what has been the reason.
02:57Look, there he tries to hold her hand, because she was upset.
03:01He held her hand like this.
03:04What happens?
03:06That is what we do, has been the reason for jokes, memes.
03:10But what if Macron gives that cookie to the woman?
03:14Today, most French people would probably be asking for Macron's resignation
03:20for abuser, for gender violence.
03:23But, as it was Madame Macron, he has had to put up with the joke
03:31and give many explanations and nothing.
03:34Look, Ramón, part of his communication team wanted to reduce the importance of the fact
03:39and in the first place he denied it, saying it was a joke,
03:42that they were making jokes before starting the tour.
03:46But obviously later they had to admit that it was a small marital discussion.
03:52But this marital discussion that can happen,
03:56that it is unfortunate that they are still at odds,
04:00that conflicts and differences are resolved.
04:03And he, with all the necessary rigor,
04:06he realized what was happening,
04:09because he realized that the door of the plane was open,
04:12that they had seen him, and he got up straight,
04:15he wanted to get off, but the lady didn't catch him.
04:18He greeted her immediately.
04:20He didn't want her to hold his hand.
04:22And there we see, he starts that tour,
04:25and let's see what follows after this.
04:31I hope he achieves the goal of that important tour that begins in Vietnam
04:35and that he is patient in personal matters.
04:38But I reiterate, it is discrimination.
04:40If it were him, today the whole world would be ending with Macron.
04:45On the other hand, already in the local area,
04:48in La Semanal, the president gave information about the commission
04:53that investigates the causes of the collapse of the roof of the Jet Set
05:00that caused 236 deaths to date.
05:04And that, initially, the engineer Leonardo Reyes Madera,
05:08who was on the program,
05:10pointed out that it would take three months.
05:13He mentioned a group of advisers,
05:16between foreigners and Dominicans,
05:19who are part of the commission.
05:21He says that in two weeks, a preliminary report was opened,
05:24and he has worked together with experts from the public ministry.
05:33Very correctly, the president says,
05:35the report will be handed over to the public ministry,
05:39and they will decide what the final report will be.
05:43And that, within the terrible tragedy of the Jet Set,
05:52well, how good it is to have a report,
05:55which we already know what it will say,
05:57but said by experts, said by experts,
06:00said by experts in seismology,
06:03although there was no earthquake,
06:04well, it has a lot of weight for criminal or civil proceedings.
06:09Well, Ramón, let's wait for this report to be produced.
06:13The president said that he will not intervene,
06:15and that it is an investigation that the public ministry will do about it.
06:18Let's hope so.
06:19Also, President Luis Abinader, in La Semanal,
06:22referred to the issue of the attack,
06:25in a way, of some Haitian authorities
06:28who blame us for aggravating the internal crisis of their country
06:33through arms trafficking in the Dominican Republic.
06:37Look, I think so, that there really is arms trafficking.
06:41Those weapons don't arrive flying to Haiti,
06:43somewhere they have to pass.
06:45Now, that's like taking the bullet
06:50and blaming the situation that is happening in their country on others.
06:54In this case, the Dominican Republic, the climate,
06:58foreign countries, anything.
07:01Unless we solve their internal situation.
07:04If they didn't have anyone to buy those weapons,
07:07if they didn't benefit from those weapons,
07:09if there really was a country that wanted to move forward,
07:13a committed business, a committed political class with institutions,
07:17look, all the weapons in the world can arrive and nothing happens.
07:21Or they don't let them in.
07:23And I also understand that all the imports
07:26that could pass through the Dominican Republic are closed.
07:29That is to say, they wouldn't be passing anymore,
07:31if not by air.
07:33So, if it's by air or by sea,
07:36they already have other controls, I suppose.
07:40He says that the border is long and porous.
07:43It's true.
07:44But thanks to that long and porous border,
07:46here we have two million Haitians,
07:48or three million Haitians.
07:51But if you, if Haiti were a government,
07:54your duty would be to defend your border,
07:58to watch over your border.
08:00Because, of course, the Haitian government is an intelligence agency.
08:03And to take care of its citizens.
08:05It's an intelligence agency.
08:07We have an ambassador here, Ramón, from Haiti,
08:09Fritz Longchamps.
08:11Yes, he was an ambassador before.
08:13He was here before, in the Dominican Republic.
08:15But nothing, the style of the Haitians has always been
08:18blaming everything on us.
08:20You've never heard a Haitian government
08:22thanking the Dominican Republic for something.
08:25They didn't thank us when the earthquake happened.
08:27They don't thank us for the medical care.
08:29They don't thank us for the schools.
08:32Not at all.
08:34Permanently, they want to support themselves.
08:37Coincidentally, they don't say that the gangs
08:39exist because of the Dominican Republic.
08:41At the moment, they're going to say
08:43that we're to blame for the gangs.
08:45No, they're deforested because the Dominican Republic
08:47deforested them.
08:49We caused the earthquake, most likely.
08:51As well as other misfortunes.
08:53And that we're to blame
08:55because we became independent from them in 1844
08:58and we defeated them in all the battles.
09:00That's why this has to be a hard hand
09:02with the immigration law.
09:04And create the structural conditions
09:07so that each time the country
09:09depends less on that labor force.
09:11I hope we don't depend on that labor force.
09:14And so you, simply,
09:16deport and take them all out of the territory.
09:19Well, Ramon, look, I'm going to tell you something.
09:21What brings together conditions,
09:23but here in this economic and social council,
09:26I don't know, I'm afraid of that council
09:29and of the demands of the Dominican business class.
09:35Because they want people who don't have a certificate,
09:38who don't have a birth certificate.
09:40So we supply that lack of origin.
09:44And that is quite dangerous
09:47for the consequences it can have for the country.
09:50So, it's like making things clear.
09:53Because you see that yesterday they arrested
09:55two police chiefs
09:58who were transporting undocumented Haitians.
10:02One lied, said he was the wife.
10:05And then it was discovered that he was not the wife at all.
10:07That he was a Haitian woman
10:11who had arrived and was being transported by him.
10:14Let's see what the authorities are going to do
10:16with these arrests.
10:18They are under arrest.
10:19But if we want that to stop,
10:21they have to be with exemplary sanctions.
10:25Not that after two days they give them freedom.
10:28Because they are violating the law.
10:30And don't tell me I'm going to introduce a bill
10:34to harden the penalties of traffickers
10:36when you don't apply it to me now.
10:38And when they are military,
10:40listen to me, that is treason to the country.
10:43That is even worse than a civilian.
10:45That is not only a low dishonor
10:49of those who do that,
10:51but to subject them to civil justice.
10:55Because if that is not done,
10:57the trafficking will not end.
10:59And the fact that we know that this trafficking
11:02happens because of the complicity
11:05of the military and police authorities.
11:07Ramon, the lack of punishment
11:09is the maximum incentive for crime.
11:11If they are not punished,
11:12if the sanction does not hurt
11:14for including these very serious shortcomings,
11:17and in this moment where national security,
11:20as the president says,
11:21to defend our territory and our sovereignty
11:24is at stake, it is now or never.
11:27So tell me, those bad Dominicans
11:30who violate their commitments twice,
11:33citizens and what you say, military.
11:36So when are you going to do it?
11:38When are you going to do it?
11:40So give it a hard time
11:42so that this does not encourage
11:44others to continue doing it.
11:46And be careful with the Economic and Social Council
11:49because the business there has a lot of specific weight.
11:53And maybe what comes out of there
11:55is a new regularization
11:57that would be the worst thing that could happen.
12:00Today we have to shorten the comments a little bit.
12:02We have another one for the end
12:04because we want to take advantage of the interview
12:06with His Excellency Ambassador Ramu Aparagami,
12:11who is the first resident ambassador of India
12:16in the Dominican Republic,
12:17and Mr. Socrates Benjamin Alvarez,
12:19who is an expert on Indo-Asian issues
12:22who is also going to participate in the interview.
12:25So don't miss it.
12:31The telematutino 11 interview,
12:33important people, important topics,
12:35we are honored with your presence,
12:37Your Excellency, Ambassador Ramu Aparagami,
12:41Indian Ambassador to the Dominican Republic,
12:44and we are also accompanied by Socrates Benjamin Alvarez,
12:46who is a member of the board of the Chamber of Commerce
12:49of the Indian Republic of the Dominican Republic.
12:51He is an expert on Indo-European issues.
12:55He has a lot of studies that we don't have time to list,
13:00and we welcome him to the telematutino 11.
13:02Namaste.
13:03Namaste.
13:04Good morning.
13:05Namaste from India.
13:06From India. Welcome.
13:08Namaste can be used all day.
13:12Good morning, good afternoon, good evening.
13:15Welcome.
13:16Welcome.
13:17A very profound gesture to greet his soul,
13:21not just a person.
13:23Namaste.
13:24Very good.
13:25The ambassador did not know anything about Spanish
13:27and learned in the Dominican Republic.
13:29How many years has your mission lasted,
13:32because it concludes,
13:33and how do you think the relations
13:36between India and the Dominican Republic have evolved?
13:40First, thank you very much to my friends
13:45for this opportunity to participate in this interview,
13:48also to communicate with the audience of the Dominican Republic.
13:54I am the first ambassador of India.
13:57I opened our embassy in January 2022.
14:02So three years, four months ago,
14:05I was able to achieve many things,
14:07especially high-level visits from India
14:13and the Dominican Republic as well.
14:15Our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Jay Shankar,
14:21visited the Dominican Republic in April 2023
14:26to inaugurate our embassy.
14:29In response, Vice President, His Excellency Raquel Peña,
14:34visited India in October 2023.
14:39Also, many memorandums of understanding were achieved.
14:44Also, our trade, for the first time,
14:47crossed one billion dollars.
14:50Also, the Dominican Republic, India,
14:56has very balanced trade,
14:59because 50% exports, 50% imports.
15:05At the same level.
15:06Also, India is a very important partner for the Dominican Republic
15:13because it is the fifth largest destination
15:17for exports from the Dominican Republic to India.
15:22The fifth.
15:23The fifth, yes.
15:25Also, the fifth partner for trade in the Dominican Republic.
15:30That is to say that the objectives of your mission have been achieved
15:34and have exceeded the expectations of what was expected
15:38for you to be the first ambassador living in the Dominican Republic,
15:42despite the fact that our relations date back decades, right?
15:46Yes, I think I am blessed and proud
15:52for this opportunity from our government
15:56to work as the first ambassador in a beautiful country.
16:02I always say that DR is not only the Dominican Republic,
16:09but a dream come true.
16:15A dream come true.
16:17Yes, dream reality in English.
16:19So, I am very grateful for this opportunity
16:23to speak, to work with all friends of the Dominican Republic.
16:29I have received a lot of love, a lot of kindness from all the people of the Dominican Republic.
16:37Ambassador, you are world leaders in terms of technology and innovation.
16:42You spoke of signing a memorandum.
16:45Have there been any related to this issue
16:48or the possibility that Dominican students do specializations in India?
16:54Yes, we have many possibilities for students of the Dominican Republic to study in India,
17:04especially MESIT, Ministry of Higher Education, Sciences and Technology,
17:11has a scholarship program for students of the Dominican Republic to study abroad,
17:21recently India is a country included in this program.
17:28India has many higher education institutes, very strong, very important,
17:38especially we have a very strong education system to change more intelligent students,
17:49because, for example, many CEOs, Chief Executive Officers of many multinationals of India,
18:02for example, Google, Microsoft, all studied in India before achieving a position of CEO.
18:13Have you studied in India?
18:15Yes, yes.
18:16I always want to invite all Dominicans to study in India,
18:21to change their lives, to achieve a very good life,
18:28especially to balance the materialistic world and also the spiritual world.
18:37Only an Indian country can give this opportunity to balance material and also spiritual,
18:47like Mahatma Gandhi, our very deep philosophy,
18:52so I want young people from the Dominican Republic to study in India.
19:01Ambassador, you are already the most populous country on earth,
19:07you have surpassed China, economy number 5, number 4, you have already surpassed Japan,
19:15and the projections are that in 2030 you will be economy number 3,
19:19and in 2050 you will be number 2.
19:22You have an important presence in the BRIC, in the G20,
19:27so in this world of so many conflicts, of a tariff war,
19:34how do you see the role that India can play in this multipolar world?
19:40First of all, thank you, you know a lot about our economy currently.
19:49Yesterday, India crossed the position of economy number 5,
19:56and now it is number 4.
19:59We also have a vision to achieve the development of our country,
20:06as a developed country in 2047,
20:10when we celebrate 100 years of our independence.
20:15This vision is for the next 25 years,
20:18but as you said, an objective immediately to achieve a third largest economy
20:27in the next 2 or 3 years, across Germany.
20:32But more important is that our economy can achieve these things
20:39when our population is 1.4 billion people.
20:43It is more important that our country has a larger democracy.
20:49A larger democracy.
20:51Yes.
20:52I am not proud of a country with a larger population,
20:56but a country with a larger democracy.
21:00We also have an experience of how to double our economy 10 years ago.
21:09From 2014 to 2024, we doubled our economy
21:16from 2 trillion dollars in gross domestic product in 2014
21:23to 4.3 trillion dollars in gross domestic product.
21:29A 105% growth in 10 years.
21:34No country in the world can achieve this growth.
21:38If we can continue this growth,
21:42we can achieve a developed country in 2047.
21:49Mr. Ambassador and Socrates, with your permission,
21:52we will take a short commercial break and return in a few minutes.
22:01We continue in Telematutino 11.
22:03This morning we feel more than honored
22:05with the participation of His Excellency Ramu Avaghani,
22:08Ambassador of India in the Dominican Republic.
22:11We also received Socrates Benjamín Álvarez,
22:14expert in Asia and the Pacific,
22:16in political sciences,
22:18and member of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce of India,
22:22Dominican Republic.
22:24I want to talk this time with Socrates,
22:27because he has a great connection with the Embassy of India in the Dominican Republic.
22:31He has been several times in that country.
22:33He was at an event recently
22:35and is a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
22:38What are the expectations, Socrates,
22:41of those relations of India and the Dominican Republic
22:43in commercial terms?
22:45Good morning, first of all.
22:47Good morning to all the public.
22:49And you know that we always follow you.
22:51We see you every day.
22:53We were at the event,
22:56or if you allow me to make a small synopsis,
22:59since we started our diplomatic relations,
23:02in 1999,
23:04and we opened our first embassy
23:06in 2006,
23:08with Frank van den Ember Castellano,
23:10then David Pui,
23:11and now recently
23:13Manuel Francisco Comprés,
23:16as the new and third Dominican ambassador
23:19in India.
23:20So now recently we were in India
23:22at an event called India-LAC,
23:25India, Latin America and the Caribbean.
23:28There we shared
23:30with all the ambassadors of Latin America in India
23:34and with businessmen from all over India
23:37and with ministers from the entire Indian government.
23:40The president of the Chamber of Commerce was there,
23:44Mr. David Marmol,
23:45who was the official representative of the Chamber.
23:49So we were there with a series of businessmen
23:53who all have a huge interest
23:56in exchanging with the Dominican Republic.
24:00There is one of them from Mumbai,
24:02who is coming soon.
24:04He promised me he would come.
24:06They all treated me very well.
24:08I can say they treated me like a prince,
24:10with great courtesy,
24:12because in India,
24:13courtesy is number one.
24:15And the prospects are very great,
24:18and India has great potential
24:21in the manufacture of clothes,
24:24shoes,
24:26floor ceramics,
24:28automobiles,
24:30technology,
24:31everything.
24:32It is a complete world.
24:34And now I can tell you
24:36that according to the International Monetary Fund,
24:39India produces 9% of the world's gross domestic product.
24:47Vietnam and France produce 1.5%.
24:53Indonesia,
24:54which we have also lived there,
24:56which has 17,000 islands,
24:58does not reach 2%.
25:00And yet,
25:01India produces 9% of the world's gross domestic product,
25:05followed by China,
25:06which is 18%.
25:07That tells you the immense potential
25:10that India is developing.
25:18India has 90 million registered voters,
25:23because it is the most popular democracy in the world.
25:26Imagine mobilizing 90 million.
25:29I have been there during the elections
25:31to vote,
25:35and it is something incredible.
25:38And then Mr. Narendra Damodar Modi,
25:45who was born in 1950,
25:47on September 17,
25:48will be 75 years old,
25:50has become the greatest leader.
25:52He is already 11 years old.
25:53He is the head of government
25:55and the head of state of Mrs. Drupadi Murmu.
26:00Because India is a federal or parliamentary republic
26:03where the head of government is the president.
26:06And she is the second female president
26:08and the first woman to make history in 2022,
26:13because she is a tribal woman,
26:17from the tribe of Setal,
26:19a native indigenous tribe,
26:21and she became president.
26:23Something historical.
26:25And together they are making a great effort
26:34for the economy of India.
26:36There is still a lot of work to be done
26:38for social disparity,
26:39but they are on the way.
26:41Ambassador, as a power,
26:43how do you see Latin America?
26:46Not only in terms of trade,
26:49Latin America and us,
26:51but as an attractive place
26:53for the investment of Indian companies in the region.
26:57Yes, this region, Latin America and the Caribbean,
27:02is very important to us.
27:04As our government decides
27:08that more ambassadors are needed
27:13in Latin American and Caribbean countries,
27:17it is a decision to send me to the Dominican Republic.
27:21At the same time, we are new ambassadors
27:24in Paraguay, Bolivia, Costa Rica.
27:28This decision is a reflection
27:31of the thinking of the Indian government
27:35to make relations with this region more important.
27:44Also, the Dominican Republic is important to us
27:50because it is the largest economy in the Caribbean.
27:55It is also the seventh largest economy
27:58in all Latin American and Caribbean countries.
28:02Among 33 countries,
28:05the Dominican Republic is number 7.
28:11Also, recently,
28:14there is more interest among our investors,
28:18entrepreneurs from the Republic of India
28:21for this region, Latin America,
28:25and the Dominican Republic for investments.
28:28Also, three years ago, I was able to see
28:33how our relationship has changed
28:36because there is more interest in business with this region,
28:42especially with the Dominican Republic.
28:45We also have some investments from India
28:48in the Dominican Republic.
28:52I think that the next year is very important
28:57for relations between India, Latin America, and the Caribbean,
29:02especially the Dominican Republic,
29:04because this region is developing.
29:07India is also developing.
29:09We have a vision to double, triple our economy,
29:13as I said before, until 2047.
29:18Also, many countries have the same vision,
29:21including the Dominican Republic,
29:23to double their economy,
29:26their gross domestic product,
29:28from 100, 140 billion dollars currently,
29:35to double their gross domestic product until 2036.
29:42There is also a vision of the Dominican Republic
29:45to double their economy.
29:48The ambassador handles the numbers of the Dominican Republic very well.
29:52Yes, to create many opportunities
29:54because we are a developing country in the next few years.
29:57It is more important to have visits from countries in India
30:02to the Dominican Republic,
30:04visits from the Dominican Republic to India.
30:06It is important, especially for students,
30:09tourists, officials, ministers of high level.
30:14It has changed a lot.
30:16Three years ago, as I said,
30:18I visited the Vice President, His Excellency Raquel Peña,
30:22I visited the Vice Minister of MEPIMES, Dr. Morales,
30:27I also visited the Executive Director,
30:33Pro-Dominican, Viviana Ribeiro.
30:37These visits are more important.
30:39I also participated in the delegations of two countries
30:44in trade fairs.
30:50Mr. Ambassador, you say that there are many opportunities
30:53in the Dominican Republic and India,
30:56and that these relations can bear very good fruits,
30:59in addition to what you have mentioned,
31:01that you have already thrown in these years of relations.
31:04And really, what you talk about,
31:06that India, in a record time, duplicated its economy,
31:09is something that any country would like to emulate,
31:12would like to imitate, and would like to happen.
31:15What was that secret so that this economy,
31:19in a fairly short time, we are talking about 10 years,
31:22could be duplicated?
31:24Yes, our Prime Minister,
31:28since 1901,
31:32we started reforms in our economy,
31:38during the period of our Prime Minister.
31:41Economic reforms.
31:43Yes, economic reforms, for more openness, for investments.
31:47We say LPG,
31:49Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization.
31:54Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization.
32:01LPG.
32:03This is a philosophy from 1991.
32:10Since 1991,
32:15our economy was only 300 billion dollars.
32:22In 1991.
32:24Yes, 300 billion dollars.
32:28Now, in 24 years,
32:31our economy is 4.3 trillion dollars.
32:35Approximately 13 times.
32:4113 times.
32:4213 times.
32:43The gross domestic product changed from 300 billion
32:49to 4.3 trillion dollars.
32:53But it was very important,
32:5710 years ago,
32:59during this time,
33:01to duplicate our economy
33:03from 2 trillion in 2014
33:07to 4.3 trillion in 2024.
33:12A lot of credit to our Prime Minister,
33:15Narendra Modi,
33:17who changed our economy,
33:19not only the economy,
33:21but a culture, a philosophy of change.
33:24A vision.
33:25A vision to change our country,
33:28a developed country.
33:30But in all of this,
33:32education also had to play an important role.
33:34I understand that you sent many students
33:37to the United States,
33:38but you made educational reforms in your country.
33:41Yes, because
33:44our economy is growing,
33:47growing fast.
33:49A vision of each family
33:52to provide education,
33:55good education for children.
33:58This vision promotes many movements in India,
34:05other countries where they can study English.
34:09But this culture of change
34:12also contributes a lot
34:14to the development of our economy,
34:18because there is a connection of students from India,
34:22the United States, the United Kingdom,
34:25Australia, Canada,
34:26to exchange technologies.
34:30There is not much problem
34:33with our talent leaving our country,
34:37but on the contrary,
34:42contributing well to our economy.
34:47Mr. Ambassador, you have a commitment
34:50that you want to send a message
34:52to the Dominican people.
34:54Yes, our country is a very friendly country.
34:58We have a lot of affection,
35:02respect for the people of both countries.
35:06I want to change this feeling
35:10to a very practical relationship
35:14to achieve a lot of trade,
35:18a lot of investment,
35:19a lot of development for each person,
35:22because we have a philosophy
35:25more open to respect for rights,
35:30also democracies.
35:33There are also many possibilities
35:36to double our trade,
35:39to double tourist flows,
35:44also for students to study in India.
35:48I want to invite all Dominican friends
35:50to visit India.
35:52I also want to thank
35:56for their love and kindness
36:00to me, also to our embassy,
36:02to our country,
36:04because I have a very deep connection
36:08with the hearts of all Dominicans
36:11to show our gratitude.
36:14My wife, also me,
36:16Escalamos Pico Duarte
36:19on December 15.
36:23We have a very good relationship.
36:26We need to change this feeling
36:29to a practical action
36:33in terms of education,
36:39trade, investment, tourism.
36:42Excellent.
36:44Briefly, I want to tell you
36:49that worldwide,
36:51and above all,
36:52in all the great universities
36:54of the United States,
36:56for example, I did my master's degree
36:57at the University of San Francisco,
36:59and in all the great universities
37:00of the United States,
37:01and worldwide,
37:03the best students are from India.
37:06The most exquisite cum laude
37:09in all the huge universities
37:11come from India,
37:12so education in India
37:14is something that is taken very seriously.
37:16And we wanted to briefly remind
37:19our President and Roberto Alvarez,
37:24our Minister of Foreign Affairs,
37:27that it is time to open,
37:29hopefully it can be negotiated,
37:31a Consulate General of the Dominican Republic
37:33in the city of Mumbai,
37:35a huge city with a gigantic potential,
37:38with one of the most extraordinary ports,
37:41and hopefully we can have it there.
37:44And quickly, June 15,
37:46International Yoga Day,
37:48will be held at the Ministry of Defense
37:51at 8 am, Sunday, June 15,
37:54and you are also invited.
37:57Ramón, I have witnessed
38:01the excellent diplomatic work
38:05that His Excellency Ramón Abagani
38:08has developed in the Dominican Republic,
38:10impeccable management,
38:12impeccable as an ambassador,
38:14and with very good results.
38:16So I congratulate you
38:18and thank you for everything you have done
38:20for the Dominican Republic
38:21and for strengthening that link
38:23between India and the Dominican Republic
38:25and success from now on,
38:28where you also have to perform
38:30as a High Commissioner of India.
38:32Thank you very much.
38:34And thank you very much for accepting our invitation,
38:36His Excellency Ramón Abagani,
38:38Ambassador of India.
38:40It's a shame that your mission
38:42ends next month,
38:44but I know that it will remain
38:46in the hearts of many Dominicans.
38:48I can achieve all things
38:50only thanks to the Dominican Republic,
38:55the people of the Dominican Republic,
38:57because we think of peace in this country,
39:01a country, a paradise.
39:04A paradise.
39:05A paradise.
39:06I can learn Spanish
39:09only because of this country.
39:11Because before I came here,
39:13I didn't know anything,
39:15I didn't know any words,
39:16but all the credit goes to the Dominican Republic,
39:20also to the people.
39:23And thank you very much also to Soka TV,
39:24Jamie Alvarez.
39:25We're going to commercials,
39:26my love.
39:27I wanted to see you.
39:30Greetings.
39:31Today I want to talk to you about something
39:35that is very special.
39:37It is a technique,
39:39it is a form of coexistence,
39:41it is the expression of affection,
39:44it is necessary in many moments,
39:46it is necessary every day,
39:48of the hug.
39:50The hug is that close skin-to-skin
39:55when two people or more
39:57can unite their souls,
40:00can unite in their human warmth,
40:03can unite in affection.
40:05The hug is an expression of affection,
40:09I am with you,
40:11of solidarity,
40:13it is an expression of love.
40:16It is even a technique.
40:19We, psychotherapists,
40:21especially family,
40:23use the hug a lot,
40:26both in couple therapy
40:28and also in therapy with children,
40:32in the family.
40:34Even,
40:35one sometimes has such conflicting situations,
40:40that even the determination for a diagnosis
40:44of what the problem is,
40:46has difficult situations for one,
40:50as a psychotherapist.
40:52However,
40:53when we rely a little
40:55on getting these families to look at each other,
40:58hug each other,
41:00touch each other,
41:01skin-to-skin,
41:02warmth,
41:03things become clearer,
41:07we detect that there is love,
41:11that there is not only incomprehension,
41:14that there are also elements
41:16that are common and that unify.
41:19The hug is also an expression of forgiveness,
41:24and that is very healthy
41:27for family dynamics,
41:29for couple dynamics.
41:31And in the case of children,
41:34with more reason to be a technique
41:38for positive upbringing,
41:41because the hug is the best manifestation
41:44of affection to the little ones.
41:47And it is very necessary,
41:50very necessary,
41:51that hug at different times.
41:55Not only if we are supposedly very happy
41:58and I congratulate you,
42:00no,
42:01at any time,
42:03the hug can be even an instrument of correction,
42:07for example.
42:09In one, it can be an instrument for calm,
42:12to connect,
42:14to calm the crying child,
42:16to calm him in an environment,
42:19in a difficult climate.
42:21The hug is healing.
42:24Families,
42:25I invite you to hug more,
42:28I invite you to transmit more affection,
42:31more love,
42:33more forgiveness,
42:34and more solidarity
42:36through the hug.
42:39We continue in Telematutino 11.
42:45Let's take a couple of minutes,
42:47Jacqueline, that we have left,
42:48because there is an important resolution
42:50of the Superior Electoral Tribunal
42:52that postpones
42:54up to a sentence
42:57The pretension of the PLD
42:59to have a candidate
43:00already next year,
43:02in the first semester,
43:04they already did it with Abel Martínez
43:06and it did not work.
43:08So,
43:09that is to put in politics
43:10and in electoral campaign
43:12all the parties,
43:13because when they have a candidate
43:15in June 26,
43:17when the electoral law speaks of October 27,
43:20the same will happen
43:22with the government party
43:24that has many candidates.
43:26So,
43:27hopefully the final sentence
43:28is that there is no possibility
43:30for them to decide a candidate
43:32as early as the 26th.
43:34Look,
43:35the political parties
43:36are still completely disconnected
43:38from the reality of the country, Ramón,
43:39and they only think of themselves
43:41and not of the country.
43:42Putting the country in a bad campaign
43:44is not beneficial.
43:46Too much interference
43:47has the policy per se
43:49in the decisions that are taken,
43:51which are often not the ones
43:52that the country needs.
43:53Much more so
43:54when we are talking about
43:55choosing candidates
43:56with such little time.
43:58I mean, with so much time.
44:00That puts us in another situation.
44:02I hope that one day
44:03the political parties
44:04really do an exercise of sincerity
44:06and that this multimillionaire subsidy,
44:09which should be a shame
44:11for the political parties
44:12to receive it
44:13even in non-electoral years.
44:14A country with such a shortage,
44:16how do we finance
44:17with billions of pesos
44:19in years that are not elections
44:20to the political parties?
44:22And we don't do that exercise of sincerity.
44:24And if you also say,
44:25well, with that they only finance themselves,
44:27but the problem is that they finance themselves
44:28with the resources of businessmen
44:30who earn very well later
44:33and even with resources
44:35of black money.
44:37Yes.
44:38What we do know, Ramón,
44:39is what the presidential candidates
44:41of the Dominican Liberation Party are.
44:44Look, I didn't know
44:45that Charlie Mariotti
44:46was in that pretension.
44:48I was surprised.
44:49Also, Margarita Sedeño,
44:51also Abel Martínez,
44:53Francisco Domínguez Brito,
44:55Francisco Javier García,
44:57Juan Ariel Jiménez,
44:59and from there I would draw two.
45:03For example, Juan Ariel Jiménez
45:05already publicly said
45:06that he did not agree
45:08with that premature election.
45:10Exactly, but the PLD needs freshness
45:13and that freshness and credibility
45:15are held by Francisco Domínguez Brito
45:17and Juan Ariel Jiménez,
45:19who would be two tremendous candidates.
45:21And because they have a candidate so early
45:23it is not true that they are going
45:24to recover the lost ground.
45:25That's right.
45:26We are out of time,
45:27Mabel Estelvidentes.
45:28See you tomorrow,
45:29God willing,
45:30half a week.
45:31Half a week.
45:32Gentlemen, thank you for tuning in
45:34and continue with Telesistema,
45:35Channel 11.
45:36See you tomorrow.
