Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe on Monday reiterated his commitment to revive the cash-strapped island nation's dented economy through "tough and unpopular decision making".
Addressing a military gathering here, Wickremesinghe, 74, said that he decided to assume the post as the country's president to revive the economy.
“I know we have embarked on this difficult task of reviving the economy with corrective measures. I had to think about this difficult task many times. If we fail to take the necessary decisions now we will be going back to economic bankruptcy,” he said.
