Sri Lanka has no enemies in the world, said Preident Sirisena addressing Sri Lankan expatriates in Vienna.
Speaking at the Austrian National Library in Vienna, Mr Sirisena said,
“My tour in Austria and Germany turned out to be very good. We have been able to convince the business community why they should consider Sri Lanka for investment and collaboration. Today my country has no enemies in the world. No country organisation is against us. Since I came to power I worked with all countries and organisations to work together with Sri Lanka. It is as a result of this friendship that the Austrian government invited a state leader from Sri Lanka to visit their country. It is very important that we build on this platform to make sure that not war repeats in the country and that everybody lives happily and in harmony. Now we want to build on that platform and rise as a great nation in the world. This is the right time. If Sri Lanka was not the proper place to live in, owing to the grey period in our history. I assure you that this is the right time for many thousands of Sri Lankans to return to Sri Lanka and start contributing their knowledge and experience to build the nation.”
Minister Mangala Samraweera, Mahinda Samarasinghe and Daya Gamage were also present at the event reports Colombo Page.
