Ambassadors of the European Countries have assured continuous support to Sri Lanka at this challenging time, a statement from the President’s Media Division (PMD) said.  

These remarks were made by European Ambassadors when they met with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa at the President’s House in Colombo yesterday.  

Members of the delegation pointed out that a firm message about the future plans of building the country’s economy will certainly pave the way for the international community to assist Sri Lanka. Nearly 90% of the country’s population live in rural areas and 75% of those people depend on agriculture. The President said that by providing them with the required fertiliser and fuel, many problems as well as the issues related to the supply of food could be solved.  

Steps have been taken to provide uncultivated government lands to those interested in agriculture as a solution to the land issue. President Rajapaksa explained the initiatives launched by the Government  provide a lasting solution considering the humanitarian situation that has arisen after the war as well as the fair manner maintained in the process of enforcing law without any party affiliation and interference to the Ambassadors.
