Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardane extended his gratitude to the Government of South Korea for donating $ 300,000 worth of PCR test kits to be used in Sri Lanka and to the Korean Embassy for declaring the ‘Stay Strong’ campaign to strengthen Sri Lanka’s anti-COVID campaign.

He said this highlights the importance of international cooperation in reducing the impact of an international crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
