The UK will work to reinvigorate its relationship with the people of Sri Lanka and
President Sirisena’s government. We already have strong links in trade, education,
tourism and between our people. The President’s election is a new opportunity for
Sri Lanka to build a stable, prosperous and inclusive future for all Sri Lankans.
President Sirisena’s early visit to the UK from 7-11 March clearly expressed a renewed
friendship between our two countries. The UK has offered support to the newly elected
President and Prime Minister as they seek to implement their ambitious reform programme
and take steps to reconcile all Sri Lankan people. However, we have been clear we
want to see Sri Lanka deliver on its commitments to the UN High Commissioner for Human
Rights by September.
