President Abinader receives Champion of Freedom Award in Miami

Miami, Florida.- President Luis Abinader traveled to Miami over the weekend to receive the Champion of Freedom Award from the Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom at Florida International University. The honor recognizes global leaders who have demonstrated a strong commitment to democratic principles, human prosperity, and policies that promote economic freedom.

The Adam Smith Center praised Abinader for implementing responsible free-market policies that have helped position the Dominican Republic as a regional example of sustained economic growth and institutional stability. The independent, nonpartisan think tank, established in 2020, promotes individual liberty and economic development.

The award ceremony, which traditionally brings together heads of state, business leaders, and other prominent figures, also served as an opportunity to highlight the Dominican Republic’s progress in transparency, economic development, and the strengthening of the rule of law before an international audience.
