As Sri Lanka celebrates its 69th Independence Day, I believe that we are also celebrating the second anniversary of the election of “good governance government.”
In order to make the spirit of freedom more meaningful to us all, the government must take steps that reaffirm the liberties of the people with regard to their economic, social and spiritual well-being.
During the last two years, we have been able to achieve many things in the right direction like restoration of democratic values, rebuilding ties with friendly nations and affirming mutual trust while focusing on revitalizing the economy and taking measures to lay the foundation for a nation that has overcome various differences and is firmly anchored on principles of freedom and human values.
Only a path that unites all can pave the way for a stronger Sri Lanka. May we, as Sri Lankans possess the courage and the determination to choose that path for our common future and a better tomorrow.
