Highlighting the successful rebuilding of the collapsed economy within two years, he emphasized his efforts to enhance the standard of living by establishing a resilient economy.   
“I believe you recall the situation in the country two years ago. On that day, the office of the former president was raided. People turned to it because the economy had collapsed. However, we managed to rebuild the economy within two years,” President Wickremesinghe added.
