Let's dedicate ourselves to build the country- President

The President requested the political leaders to dedicate themselves to build the country, during the launching ceremony of the Hyundai Grand i10 car, assembled for the first time in Sri Lanka at the Colombo City Centre today (10). 

 

These investments confirm the belief that the country's economy would recover very soon, he said. 

President Ranil Wickremesinghe said that popular decisions would not serve to develop a country, adding that he believed political leaders would take difficult and unpopular decisions in the future, for the benefit of the country. 

 

The President also mentioned that taxes were imposed with the full knowledge of the difficulties faced by the people and those decisions had to be taken to run the country's economy. However, he also said that relief could be provided to the people very soon.

 

The president also said that the belief the country's economy would reinvigorate soon is confirmed by introducing such a brand new vehicle to the market at a critical moment such as this. 

 

The President further said that the positive confidence the foreign countries have placed in our country is obvious by introducing the locally assembled Hyundai Grand i10 vehicle to the market. 

This vehicle is assembled in a factory equipped with sophisticated modern technology in Seeduwa in a cooperate venture by Abans Auto Company of Sri Lanka and Hyundai Motor Company of Korea. 

President Ranil Wickremesinghe further said that this was a huge step in the domestic vehicle assembling industry and vehicle spare parts manufacturing industry.
