President-elect Anura Kumara Dissanayake expressed his readiness to work with Maldives President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu to enhance the longstanding ties between Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

In a post on social media platform X, Dissanayake thanked President Muizzu for his congratulatory message following his electoral victory and highlighted the importance of fostering historical ties and regional cooperation.

Dissanayake's response came after President Muizzu extended his congratulations to the newly elected Sri Lankan leader, emphasizing the strong friendship between the two nations. Both leaders appear committed to enhancing collaboration, particularly in addressing regional challenges and further strengthening bilateral relations.



Dissanayake, who won the Sri Lankan presidential election, is set to take office amid high hopes for increased cooperation between the Maldives and Sri Lanka, two nations with deep cultural and diplomatic connections.
