Sri Lanka is a small market for investors and it has to be enlarged if more investors need to be attracted. Therefore the Premier pointed out the importance for Sri Lanka to join with the developed world markets such as Europe, China, India, and Singapore. “If we want to generate more and more job opportunities, arrival of the investors to the country is essential. We must provide the infrastructure facilities and a suitable environment for them”, he said.

“United National Party is the Sri Lanka’s political party, which always finds solutions for your problems. It is a party, thinks differently”, Wickremesinghe said.
