The UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon discussed Sri Lanka's "post-war agenda" with the new president Maithripala Sirisena in a telephone conversation on Monday, just a few days after President Sirisena took office.
Congratulating him on the campaign, Ban Ki Moon also raised the issue of Sirisena's 100 day plan for reform.
In a statement on Friday, the Ban Ki Moon's spokesperson said the UN would "continue to support development, reconciliation, political dialogue and accountability in Sri Lanka."

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
