 The UNP is ready to work with those who support other political parties to make Sri Lanka a great nation, its Leader Former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said yesterday. 

“The old UNP does not exist anymore. There is a new UNP today. Therefore, I would like to tell those who support other political parties that the UNP is ready to work with them to make Sri Lanka a great nation. Our party has come up with both short term and long term plans to build up the nation. Our long term plan is to make Sri Lanka a great nation by the time it celebrates the centenary of independence,” Mr. Wickremesinghe said.
“We suffered a great setback in 2020. However, we have come back anew. We have embraced new technology and have joined the society which is going along with the technology.  We have decided to go along with the aspirations of the people who reject traditional politics.  We will reorganise the party online.
