Prime Minister endorses Port City

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe yesterday said that Sri Lanka will have "unique financial and business district" in Colombo when the stalled Chinese funded Colombo Port City project resumes.

"Hopefully if the Port City project gets underway - there will be some sort of landfill there - that could have the makings of a special financial and business district which will be a unique one in South Asia," Wickremesinghe said addressing an event held to mark the 30th anniversary of the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE).
