Sri Lanka will resolve issues through democratic system: President tells EU delegation

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa said that as the oldest democratic country in the region, which has never been under a dictatorship or an authoritarian regime in any period of its history, Sri Lanka will provide solutions for issues through a democratic system.

The President made these remarks during a discussion with a delegation from the European Union (EU) at his private residence in Mirihana, yesterday (04).

The delegation is expected to review Sri Lanka's compliance with the agreements which Sri Lanka has already committed to adhere to under the EU GSP+ regime, its co-operation with Sri Lanka and the European Parliament's views on Sri Lanka, Presidential Media Division (PMD) said.
