One speaker emphasized, "What you saw and heard is not government policy."

The discussion also touched upon the need for collaboration with the United States, particularly in providing technological support to combat crime. The speaker's concern about the lack of media coverage on the issue underscores the importance of accurate reporting and the need for a balanced perspective.
