President Ranil Wickremesinghe underscored his commitment to guiding the country’s progress in the coming years, drawing inspiration from the success of Biyagama.
Reflecting on his early political career in the Biyagama Constituency, where the region experienced notable underdevelopment, the President emphasized the positive impact of strategic economic decisions, particularly the establishment of the Biyagama Investment Zone. He noted that Biyagama’s rapid progress stands as a testament to those decisions.
The President underscored his vision for replicating such success nationwide by leveraging the advantages of an open economy.
He expressed plans to establish new investment zones across the country, with the aim of significantly boosting the national economy.
"The development model applied to Biyagama is set to be replicated in other provinces across the island, including Bingiriya, Kandy, Hambantota, Trincomalee, and the North, aiming to amplify the national economy tenfold," the President added.
