Fund will be set up to gather necessary resources for reconstruction: President
Colombo, Nov. 30 (Daily MIrror)- The government is in the process of setting up a fund to gather the necessary resources for reconstruction, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today.
Addressing the nation, he said the government has formed a joint management committee comprising members from the private sector, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the Presidential Secretariat to oversee the fund.
"They have been given a significant responsibility. We can mobilise a substantial amount of funds required to rebuild our country. We are working very closely with friendly nations to secure their assistance. In addition, we are engaging with various international organisations to obtain their support. We are also reaching out to domestic business people and industrialists to contribute their assistance. Notably, at this time, Sri Lankan citizens living abroad are working with great effort and enthusiasm to provide support. We are taking steps to ensure that they receive the assistance they need. For this reason, we must establish a strong fund to facilitate the country’s recovery from this disaster. We have already organised the necessary measures to mobilise and manage this fund effectively," he said.
