COLOMBO, March 28 (Xinhua) -- Sri Lanka's Ministry of Power and Energy, and the Climate Change Office will work together to introduce a green economic policy on renewable energy within the next two months, according to a statement from the President's Media Division (PMD) released on Tuesday.
"Sri Lanka has great potential to generate energy through renewable sources such as solar, wind, biogas, and sea waves. President (Ranil) Wickremesinghe believes that transitioning to a green economy could be the key to building a stronger economy for Sri Lanka," the PMD said.
The green economic policy is a long-term initiative that requires a legal framework and the president emphasized the need for legislation to be passed promptly to adjust to the new policy, said the PMD. ■
