In addition, Mr. Antoniou pointed out that \u201cCyprus is a tangible example of a State, which through the cooperation of the Social Partners’ Organizations and the exploration of social dialogues, has achieved to break out of the unprecedented economic crisis with success for the benefit of the whole society\u201d.<\/p>\n
