It is vital to work collectively to overcome obstacles including unnecessary interferences. The situations of the countries which were subjected to foreign interferences are worse today than before.
The Sri Lankan President told the Namibian Prime Minister that such countries are more chaotic, and it is the only thing that had happened.
The President who is in Santa Cruz in Bolivia to participate in the Golden Jubilee of the G 77 Summit met Namibian Prime Minister Hage Geinjob. The meeting was held at the Hotel Los Tajibos in Santa Cruz yesterday. During the meeting, Prime Minister Geingob extended the good wishes of his President Hifikepunye Pohamba to President Rajapaksa.
President Rajapaksa apprised the Namibian Prime Minister of the progress achieved by Sri Lanka following the end of the conflict. He pointed out that the country has done much work in the areas of resettling internally displaced persons, rehabilitating and reintegrating ex-combatants, releasing ex-child soldiers and developing infrastructure within a short span of time. The President said that elections were held to the Northern Provincial Council while Commissions have been appointed for national reconciliation.
The people are living in peace. But the President mentioned that the only ones who are unhappy are the politicians and forces against the country.
