Dialogue and unity are important even between UNP and SLFP

December 14, 2015

it is fundamental to the success of Sri Lanka that our two major parties, the UNP and SLFP, work together. Realistically, we can only drive forward the government through discussion. Indeed, dialogue and unity is important not just between ethnic communities, differing religions, politicians and people, but it is required between the UNP and SLFP, State Enterprise Development Deputy Minister Eran Wickremaratne said.

The Minister said so delivering the keynote address at the “Mayors’ Forum on Future Cities” organised by the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) to commemorate the 150th Anniversary.

"Dialogue and unity is something we must not just preach, but we must live. Our President Maithripala Sirisena, and our Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe are showing the way through example. They have a common vision, they have common values, and they are putting forward a common action programme. It is important to lead by example than just to talk about visions and plans. That is what the new leadership is doing,”", the Deputy Minister Eran Wickremaratne added.
