An economically peaceful and prosperous Sri Lanka is the dream of youth of the nation. My message for the youth is to collectively work for an inclusively developed Sri Lanka.

Is he [youth] not the inventor and owner of the present, and sole hope of the future?

Whenever I am with energetic young people, I feel like a recharged battery.

To become 'unique,' the challenge is to fight the hardest battle which anyone can imagine until you reach your destination.

Our nation is filled with tremendous energy of the youth. Whatever future we desire of, we must keep the youth at the centre. If we do this, we can surge ahead at an unmatchable pace!

There's so much happening with the youth looking at local or national problems and solving them with innovation and technology. This is what startup success means.
