Monetary Reformative activities and multi-purpose economic policies, adopted by the Government and the mutual relations between the Finance Ministry and the Central Bank were also commended by them.
  
They said if Sri Lanka is able to resolve the North-East conflict and restore peace, it would definitely be able to achieve tremendous economic development.
  
The President explained to the representatives that every effort is being made to liberate the East from the clutches of the terrorists and thereafter to develop infrastructure facilities, agriculture and the tourist industry, which would enhance the living standards of Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim people living there.
