President HICHILEMA says without dialogue, there is a high risk of miscommunication and conflict, which ultimately delays progress.

President HICHILEMA says open communication and cooperation is vital in creating meaningful change particularly on complex issues such as the health sector and economic policies.

Speaking during a meeting with a group of Civil Society Organizations at State House, President HICHILEMA said Government has implemented an open door policy to encourage stakeholder involvement in discussions, ensuring that solutions are both comprehensive and practical.

The President said his administration cannot afford to make decisions in isolation or in silence.

Ms. ANAMELA also acknowledged the measures the government has introduced to tackle cybercrime.
