Herath also assured that the government is of the stance that the importation of vehicles should be allowed.

“Currently, there is a higher demand to facilitate the import of vehicles. There is a Cabinet decision regarding the matter that was made earlier. But so far, we have neither imported any vehicles after we came into power, nor allowed any vehicle imports with tariff concessions”, he added.

“But regarding the import of vehicles, we are in the stance that we should allow the import of vehicles, but only under a proper procedure”, the Minister said.
