NIMAL MENDIS TOGETHER WITH HIS SON PAUL-MARIE WISH TO SALUTE ALL THE PEOPLE OF SRI LANKA. WE ARE SO GLAD THAT WE CAME BACK TO SRI LANKA. THE STATEMENT BELOW BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SHOWS THE MATURITY OF THE SRI LANKAN PEOPLE. WE CONQUERED THE WAR NOW WE MUST SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF ENSUING PEACE IN ALL ITS FORMS. Statement by the President of the United States on the Election in Sri Lanka. On behalf of the American people, I congratulate the people of Sri Lanka on the successful and peaceful conclusion of Sri Lanka’s presidential election and incoming President Maithripala Sirisena on his victory. I also commend the outgoing administration of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa for facilitating a swift and orderly transition of power. Beyond the significance of this election to Sri Lanka, it is also a symbol of hope for those who support democracy all around the world. International and domestic monitors and observers were permitted to do their jobs. Sri Lankans from all segments of society cast their ballots peacefully, and the voice of the people was respected. At this moment of hope, the United States looks forward to deepening its partnership with the people and government of Sri Lanka and to working with President Sirisena to advance peace, democracy, and prosperity for all Sri Lankans. > -- >> 2nd Picture: Nasa Astronaut Jeff Hoffman who sent me this picture of himself in space with Arthur Clarkes book Fountains of Paradise floating in the capsule.>> 3rd Picture: --- >> Sri Lanka and the possible ( though Nasa says this cannot be said with certainty) of ADAMS BRIDGE connecting Sri Lanka with India.
