The government has reportedly extended an invitation to Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya, former CEO of Dialog Axiata and a leading figure in Sri Lanka’s telecom sector, to head the country’s proposed digital economy initiative.
According to sources quoted by the Daily Mirror, Dr. Wijayasuriya has not yet responded, but is expected to accept the offer.
During a media briefing today (22) on Cabinet decisions, Minister Vijitha Herath announced plans to establish a dedicated Digital Ministry. He stated that experts from the digital sector are being invited to contribute to the initiative, but the names of those involved will be revealed once the process is finalized.
