President Wickremesinghe emphasized that these developments are positive news for all patriots of the country.

The President delivered the following special statement:

Today signifies a significant milestone in our country’s recent history, reflecting the hard work and dedication of our collective efforts. The positive outcomes we are witnessing today are a result of persistent endeavors over the past years.
