We want a country where everyone can own a vehicle, says Minister Vijitha Herath

Creating a country where every citizen owns a vehicle of their own is the aim of the government, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism Vijitha Herath said.

The minister expressed these views to media yesterday (16).

Speaking further, the minister added:
"As a government, we provide our maximum support for that. Because we also want to build a country where everyone uses a vehicle of their own. To spend one's life happily in that vehicle. To easily fulfil one's needs through using that vehicle. So, to create that situation, there is a need to change the country a lot. Two years ago, there was no ability to bring any vehicle to Sri Lanka as vehicle importation was completely stopped. Later, we managed to reinstate vehicle importation.
Today the opportunity exists to bring any type of vehicle without a limit. Due to the unexpected war situation in the Middle East, certain limits were created on these taxes. But those are temporary. We will definitely remove those temporary limitations immediately as the war situation in the Middle East ends."
