US President Joe Biden has congratulated Sri Lanka’s new President Anura Kumara Dissanayake on his election to office.
“The people of Sri Lanka chose you as their president in a free, fair, and peaceful election of which they are justifiably proud,” he said.
“I look forward to working with you to advance peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific,” he said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday.
