Magampura takes its place in maritime maps of the world – President

Today, we have left our mark, not only on the Sri Lankan map but also the world map. In the maritime maps of the world this will be marked as an important port, said President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

He made this statement at the ceremonial berthing of the first vessel at ‘Magama Ruhunupura Mahinda Rajapaksa Port’, Hambantota today (18 November). The ceremony also marked the commencement of the construction of the second phase of the port.
When Asia is progressing rapidly led by China and India, Sri Lanka also seeks to be a part of this emergence, he said.When we introduced Mahinda Chintana to the nation in 2005, we Sri Lankans were deprived of many things in this country… we gave Sri Lankans, the rightful owners, everything from the fertilizer bag to the Shell Gas company… From the time when our land was sold, we are now moving to a time when we are adding to it, he further stated.
