flourished is no more.

arbitrarily to fulfill their sinister purposes by utilizing their power
in the society. The Government will never allow anybody to tarnish Sri
Lanka's image," he said.
The Prime Minister said when some countries insisted to make our
policies according to their agendas, we undertook our own method to
develop the country.
"Doors are open for those who work honestly for the country's
development. We should love our Motherland really and not deceive the
people. If we don't love country how can we love the people, the Premier
queried.
"We have close ties with emerging economies. That is why we have a
good relationship with Russia. All countries who respect our sovereignty
are invited to have ties with us," he said.

will be no need to send children to urban schools. All schools will be
developed," he said.
