Mr. Wickremesinghe expressed this comment in his special message for New year.
Following is Prime Minister’s full message
As the refreshing 2019 dawns with new hopes and goals, it is my utmost pleasure to wish all the Sri Lankans a prosperous year ahead.
It was a real victory for all of us to ensure the sovereignty of the people's rule in the country to begin the New Year. I am glad and I must be thankful to everyone who strived in the name of reclaiming democracy setting the ethnic, religious and party differences aside.
The New Year turns out to be challenging for Sri Lanka. Nevertheless, we are committed to making a better society for our future generation. I ardently admire your encouragement, commitment and cooperation in this regard.
