Foreign Minister Dinesh Gunawardena said that the Government is committed to the development of the country while protecting the independent, sovereign, free and unitary state. “The Governor has taken steps to provide equal rights to all the people of the country as a unitary state, including the North and the East. However, following the defeat of LTTE terrorism, steps were taken to develop these areas during the time of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa. We all must work together to make the vision ‘Vistas of Prosperity and Splendour’ a reality and develop the country. The Minister said Trincomalee district is one of the most fortunate areas in the country.
