Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Leader of the Opposition, both of us must understand the supply chain. We have crude stocks sufficient until August, so Hormuz is not an immediate major disruption to us. If global production and transport are affected, we have plans and are prepared for adverse scenarios, even as we continue to hope for the best.
