¶ 01 Using all connections and engaging resource providers, we are working to give maximum support to bring benefits to villages and the country. There are places in our own country that even our citizens have not seen. For example, there are plenty in my own Mirigama area. Let us tell and show the world—show not only our humanity but also the beauty of our country. By strengthening tourism, adopting such regulations, and using the public mandate and the powers of Parliament to amend orders, laws and regulations, let us lift the tourism industry. Let us invite everyone at the local level to join. In the midst of today’s debate, let us explain to everyone in the country what this potential is, and invite all to join together to take the country forward. I conclude. Thank you very much.
