So, we are thankful to both the Indian government and the Indian people because India stepped in when the economic crisis was at its worst. I’m sure Indians could also be glad that Sri Lanka has gotten better.”

He also said, “The last three months have been very hard for us. There was a lack of food, fuel, and electricity, among other things. This changed a lot after the EFF was passed. We’re happy to say that we work well with the people who owe us money. We’re glad that we’ve gotten back on our feet and are well on our way to a full recovery. Soon, we’ll start to grow again.” He talked about how the tourism industry is helping Sri Lanka get its economy back on track. He also said that the tourism industry in Sri Lanka is growing.

He also said, “We want to give priority to a few sectors for investment. The energy sector is one of the most important ones, and renewable energy is another important one. PM Modi and President Wickremesinghe talked about this at a recent meeting.” We welcome people from everywhere. We’ve learned a lot from our crisis, and we’re confident that our debt won’t be a problem.
