The analysis confirms that the success of this experience is linked to a clear vision that makes social peace the foundation upon which development policies are based. The research concludes that peaceful coexistence constitutes a strategic pillar for sustainable development, as it provides A conducive environment for production, investment, and innovation strengthens the social capital upon which advanced societies are built.
