அதுமட்டுமன்றி இலங்கைக்கான அமெரிக்க தூதுவரும் தனது வாழ்த்துச்செய்தியை புதிய பிரதமருக்கு டுவிட்டர் பதிவினூடாக தெரிவித்திருந்தமை குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
Look forward to working w/ @RW_UNP. His appointment as PM, and the quick formation of an inclusive government, are first steps to addressing the crisis & promoting stability. We encourage meaningful progress at the IMF & long-term solutions that meet the needs of all Sri Lankans.

Former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has resigned following a series of violent riots by anti-government protesters (fundamentalist groups) in Sri Lanka, including the destruction of public property and the suffering of civilians, following reports of violence by supporters of former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Following this, United National Party leader Ranil Wickremesinghe was sworn in as the Prime Minister this evening (12) at the Presidential Palace in Fort in the presence of President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
It is noteworthy that former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has congratulated the current Prime Minister of Sri Lanka on his Twitter page, despite the opposition of many.
