Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Yes, Hon. Member. We are continually working to develop all Export Processing Zones and Investment Promotion Zones, with the intervention of the President at the State technical level, the Investment Board as appropriate, and all relevant agencies. The upcoming Budget will also include a program to develop these industrial parks. For a country to advance, exports must grow. We presented our production-economy plan to the people; there is now an agreed work program. We are identifying zones across Sri Lanka and certainly will continue to develop them. The Bingiriya Zone is very much within that focus.
