It is with great pleasure that I extend my sincere congratulations to you on your re-election for a third term as the Prime Minister of Japan.

 

Excellency, your deep commitment for the development and prosperity of Japan is noteworthy.  I have no doubt that your wisdom, wealth of experience and charismatic leadership will certainly help in achieving the desired goals for the continued benefit of the people of Japan.

 

I am happy that traditionally and historically warm and friendly relations between Sri Lanka and Japan have reached a level of unparalleled excellence.  In recent years, these ties have been further invigorated and assumed a new impetus as a result of growing economic collaborations.

 

I look forward to working with you to further consolidate our relations into new vistas of cooperation.

 

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration and best wishes for your health, happiness and personal well-being and for the progress and prosperity of the Government and people of Japan.

 

Ranil Wickremesinghe
