The unemployment issue of the youth would be solved by 2012 after addressing the problems of the kitchen, Media Minister Lakshman Yapa Abeywardane said.

He was speaking at a series of propaganda meetings in support of the UPFA in Aparekka and Thalalle areas in the South.

No President who sought re-election the second time in the history ever obtained more votes than the first time. However, our President achieved this thanks to the gratitude shown by the people for ending the three decade old war. We gained our Independence in 1948. However, we truly gained it only after ending the war last year.

Despite international pressure in all forms, the President stood firm against them and won the war.

In this context, we need to form a strong Government to solve the remaining problems and carry forward development programs.

Under the President's guidance, the South is undergoing massive development today with new harbours and airports.

Therefore, we seek your support to complete these development within the next term of office, Abeywardane said.
