The President also said he had asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs to table a paper on the foreign policy of Sri Lanka by the end on the year and the Ministry of Defence will work on a long term defence policy for Sri Lanka, followed by other ministries in producing a national policy framework.
The President also noted that there is a big void in Sri Lanka’s system ; the absence of national policy, a significant drawback of a free market economy.
“We must have consistent policies. Parliament has appointed a committee that has given a report on national policies. Within this national policy framework devolution could take place,” he has added.
