¶ 01 Please allow a few more seconds. As I said, with the strong cooperation of our Secretary, Directors, and staff, we are advancing this Ministry’s work. Our Deputy Minister has worked day and night. Though today we discussed two Ministries, all our Ministries work together.

¶ 02 Lastly, about Hon. Nihal Galappaththi: many spoke about him. To us, Nihal Galappaththi is like an elder brother; we love him. He works with us and guides us as a leader. Thank you.
