Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I will conclude. Many Government MPs and Opposition Members are ready to contribute. I invite a substantive debate—less rhetoric, more subject matter—because agriculture is uniquely vulnerable to climate. I will listen and respond as far as possible, and study the Hansard to incorporate constructive ideas, working with Opposition MPs for the sector’s advancement.

¶ 02 Thank you.
