He emphasised the critical role of education in fostering progress and called for collective efforts to combat radicalisation and violent extremism in the region.

He also tackled the sensitive issue of land disputes, urging the community to adopt swift and effective mechanisms to resolve conflicts and prevent escalation.
In an era of rapid information exchange, the DCI boss cautioned against the dangers of disinformation and misinformation, particularly on digital platforms.
