The President emphasized technical education, particularly in science and technology, to keep Zimbabwean products competitive. He highlighted worker welfare as a priority and thanked security forces for maintaining peace across the nation. Food security remains essential, with strategies to improve grain production. Despite last season's drought, the country managed to feed itself through various support programs, including cash transfers to urban households.
