PM upbeat on talks with President
By Athula Bandara
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said yesterday more talks would be held with the President this week and he was optimistic about the outcome.

Addressing a ceremony to unveil the pinnacle of the Padavisripura Rajamaha Viharaya, the Premier stressed his government's number one priority was to restore peace in the country.

He said it was time to shed political differences and work together to develop the country. Acknowledging that there were weaknesses and setbacks in the ceasefire and the peace process, the Premier said it should be remembered that the government was dealing with one of the most dangerous organisations which had been involved in a deadly war.

In a significant move, the Prime Minister invited the North Central Province's PA Chief Minister, Berty Premalal Dissanayake, to unveil the pinnacle for which the 'Chuda Manikkiya' was gifted by the President.
