We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!

An economically peaceful and prosperous Sri Lanka is the dream of youth of the nation. My message for the youth is to collectively work for an inclusively developed Sri Lanka.

Nations consist of people. And with their effort, a nation can accomplish all it could ever want.

My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that they must work towards. This is my message to the young people.

We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!

I have met 18 million youth, and each wants to be unique.
