President
Mahinda Rajapaksa has vowed to work closely with Opposition
Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe in sorting out the country’s
burning issues.
The President made this vow after a religious delegation that
met him at his official residence in Fort yesterday, appealed
for unity between the ruling party and the main opposition.
The local chapter of the World Conference on Religion and
Peace that met President Rajapaksa insisted that the series
of abductions taking place in the country had a negative impact
on the economic and social growth in the country and that
he in his capacity as the head of state should take serious
steps to bring them to a halt.
