Sri Lanka Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe says steps will be taken to develop Galle as a major tourist destination according to a systematic plan.
“We are not talking only of the Galle Fort but the Galle town as a whole” he said addressing a function in Galle yesterday.
Prime Minister Wickremesinghe also stressed that the government has taken steps to give priority to the tourism sector in the process of moving Sri Lanka forward as an economically developed country.
According to the PM the country will also be taken forward by getting foreign investments and generating new income avenues.
“The debt burden will not be left to the future” he said adding that with the investment from the China Merchant Company the debt burden of the country has been reduced by one billion dollars. He said the Chinese Company will develop Hambantota Port and talks are being held with India about also utilizing the Mattala International Airport.
