Independence is not just about sovereignty; it is about dignity, justice, and the right to a life free from oppression. Today, as we reflect on our journey, we recognize that true freedom comes from an inclusive and equitable society where every community; regardless of ethnicity, religion, caste, gender or class has an equal stake in shaping this nation and feels valued and respected.
“Message from the Prime Minister on Sri Lanka’s 77th Independence Day”
A thriving nation, a beautiful life is not just a vision; it is a call to action. It is a commitment to a Sri Lanka where democracy is deepened, where economic justice is prioritized, and where the voices of the marginalized are not just heard but cantered in decision-making. It is a promise to build a country where every individual feels a sense of belonging and worth.
On this historic day, let us go beyond symbolism and dedicate ourselves to a meaningful change; towards a Sri Lanka that truly belongs to all.
Dr. Harini Amarasuriya.
Prime Minister
Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka.
