“Fulfill your duties today and talk about Sri Lanka with pride in another 25 years” – President

President Ranil Wickremesinghe addressing the orientation workshop for youth representatives of the Sectoral oversight Committees of Parliament held at Waters Edge Hotel, Battaramulla today (13) said that in 25 years when the country has reached the path of success, the youth could proudly claim that, “It was the step taken by us today that led to the system change which paved the way for the country’s success.”

The President mentioned that the opportunity has been provided to the youth to contribute to the journey towards a developed Sri Lanka in 2048. He noted that providing the youth representatives the chance to participate in the Sectoral Oversight Committees of the Parliament is a novel approach and emphasized that it has not yet been done in any country in the world.

The President also expressed his confidence that this is the system change that the youth demanded and that they will take maximum advantage of this opportunity.
