Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe says that if the UNP government withdrew from power on October 26 last year, massive development projects would have been lost to the masses.

The construction of the new Export Development Zone under the Board of Investments (BOI) in a land area of 1200 acres was opened by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe today.
