- 6 February 2025 AI summary Hon. Padmasiri Bandara supported the regulations under the Intellectual Property Act for registering geographical indications, arguing that they would make an existing law operational and help protect and promote Sri Lankan products domestically and internationally. He rejected Opposition criticisms and said past governments had damaged Sri Lanka’s reputation, while the current government would not neglect pending legal issues relating to past killings. Referring to Polonnaruwa, he said rice brands, farming communities, national parks, reservoirs and heritage sites should be developed into nationally and internationally recognized assets without dispossessing existing businesses. He also linked intellectual property to retaining and attracting Sri Lankan expertise, stating that legal frameworks would be used to strengthen the country’s development and global image.
