Sri Lanka will conduct an economic forum with the participation of world-renowned economists, including some from Harvard University, to provide advice on the implementation of the government's economic plan, Deputy Foreign Minister Harsha de Silva said to the Daily Mirror on Wednesday.
“We are going to consult the best economists in the world. They may be from different countries. This is organised by the Ministry of International Trade. There are economists attached to Harvard University, to attend it,” he said.
"Generation of one million economic opportunities, enhancing income levels, development of rural areas, ensuring land ownership to rural and estate sectors, and the middle class and government employees, and creating a wide and strong middle class are the aims of this economic policy", the Daily Mirror said.
