President to Host Media Briefing on World Press Freedom Day

President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has announced plans to host an official press briefing at the President’s Office on May 3rd, coinciding with World Press Freedom Day. The event will offer journalists and media outlets the opportunity to engage directly with the President and ask questions on national issues.

The announcement was made during the latest episode of the With the People podcast, where President Muizzu emphasized his administration’s ongoing efforts to promote transparency and public access to information. He highlighted that communication with the public has been maintained through social media, government channels, and various outreach programs.

According to the President, cabinet ministers continue to conduct regular press briefings, with several more scheduled throughout the month. He noted that while his schedule remains tightly focused on achieving results, direct engagement with the media is also a priority.

The upcoming press forum on May 3rd is part of a broader strategy to strengthen ties between the government and the media. It reflects an increased emphasis on open dialogue, particularly at a time when public demand for accountability and transparency remains high.

In addition to the official media briefing, the President expressed readiness to take part in televised programs hosted by local stations, indicating a willingness to answer questions in a variety of public forums.

This initiative aligns with the administration’s stated goal of ensuring consistent access to information and enhancing public trust in government decision-making.
