For that, the knowledge-based economy needs to be developed, giving priority to smart technology over traditional income earning methods, he said.
A production process targeting the four million Sri Lankans living abroad could be the solution, said Ranawaka at the party’s Ratnapura district meeting.
He pointed out how India strengthened its economy in a similar manner after Narendra Modi came to power in 2014.
