Hon. President’s New 12 months Message
We’re trying on the New 12 months 2023 after having undergone the bleakest of instances, immense hardships, in addition to the uncertainties and hopelessness of the final yr. I perceive the nice burdens which can be positioned on all of us and the setbacks {that a} majority of us have suffered because of the nation’s abject financial collapse. But I consider that we now have already gone by way of the worst of those instances. I sincerely admire all of you who’re dedicated to our nation first and I thanks on your persistence and braveness as we took the vital, preliminary steps to stabilise the economic system.
Certainly, 2023 can be a vital yr during which we plan to show across the economic system.
2023 can also be the seventy fifth yr of independence from the British Empire. Wanting again, it’s apparent that we now have not achieved in addition to different ex-colonies. That is why the youth of our nation are calling for a system change – particularly at this juncture. This can’t be ignored.
Due to this fact, we should boldly implement the proposed social, financial and political reforms to construct a affluent and productive Sri Lanka within the coming decade.
I want all of you a contented and peaceable new yr!
Ranil Wickremesinghe
President
Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka
