President Anura Kumara Dissanayake says the recent election had marked the end of divisive politics in Sri Lanka.
The President said this in his address following the appointment of the new Cabinet.
“The political culture in Sri Lanka has long been defined by efforts to pit the North against the South and vice versa.
“However, this election has shown that divisive politics no longer hold sway. It has successfully brought the aspirations of all people to the centre,” he said.
The President extended gratitude to all supporters who voted the new government into power, making special note of Sri Lankan expatriates and young social media activists for their contributions and support during the election. (Newswire)
