Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. I must express my appreciation for your detailed answer. As a scholar of literature and an ardent connoisseur, I believe your sensitive response is adequate.
¶ 02 We believe that developing a country’s cultural environment drives advancement in its social, economic, political, and other spheres. Accordingly, my first supplementary question is:
¶ 03 In the National People’s Power policy statement, we saw a very important concept termed the “Multi-Functional Cultural Centre.” Compared to the current cultural centres and institutions such as art centres, how do you envisage the operations and expected outcomes of such a multi-functional cultural centre, Hon. Minister?
