UN Secretary-General António Guterres yesterday called on all political actors in Sri Lanka to seize the opportunity of the appointment of the new Cabinet to resolve outstanding political differences.

“I welcome the resolution of the political crisis in Sri Lanka through peaceful, constitutional means, and applaud the resilience of the country’s democratic institutions. Outstanding political differences should be resolved in the same spirit of respect for democracy and in the interest of the people of Sri Lanka,” he said in a statement.

We are not under the UN. The People's wishes will always reign. That is Democracy.

What can you expect from a majority citizens who think only on lines of racism, religion, suspicion despite being >95% literate but unfortunately primitive in their actions and thoughts.

Literacy never meant intelligence or rationality!

We totally agree what UN says. Sadly our politicians are so arrogant and they always think about their future. They don't care about the country.

Secretary General this dispute will never be solved unless otherwise some personal cover ups are solved. Tit for tat tactics are the base for this problem. Everyone had gone to toilet without knowing how to clean themselves. Best way you can sortout this problem is get best automated toilet you can find out around the world and instal it in important places like parliament sponsored by UN .
