People are now beginning to enjoy the economic benefits of the government’s special effort to recover from the recent severe economic crisis and in order to forge ahead all people should unite and work in harmony for the sake of national development, said the Defense State Minister Premitha Bandara Tennakoon.

State Minister Tennakoon was warmly received by a representative group of prominent people in Beruwala when he arrived for the ‘Ifthar’ at China Fort and later sat down for the traditional breaking of fast.

“Under the President’s leadership we have been able to work our way out of a severe economic crisis, curb a wave of crimes and we have the responsibility to ensure its continuation. We do not believe in a repressive policy nor can we afford to allow anyone to disrupt the lives of the people,” he said speaking to the media.

The State Minister stressing the need for unity among the people said that: “We are working with a new vision under the leadership of a new president and new government.”
