Minister of Ports, Shipping and Aviation Nimal Siripala de Silva has expressed confidence that construction of the Sri Lanka Port Authority-funded East Container Terminal of the Colombo port will be completed by July 2024 as planned.

Addressing media at the Government Information Department (DGI), he added that the suspended construction activities of Terminal 2 of the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) which is funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), will commence once Sri Lanka’s debt restructuring process is over.

“JICA has issued us the moment debt restructuring is over, they will continue to give us the money for the phase 02 of the project.
