Highlighting the government’s dedication to fostering a constructive relationship with the press, the Vice President reiterated President Muizzu’s engagement with journalists to address their apprehensions during the transitional phase.

Addressing prevalent concerns within the media landscape, VP Hussain acknowledged financial constraints faced by private media entities, compounded by the challenges of operating in high-rental office spaces.

This strategic move aims to provide a conducive environment for media operations, reducing financial burdens associated with rental overheads.
