رئيس سريلانكا ذو الميول اليسارية يؤدي اليمين الدستورية

September 23, 2024 - أدى الرئيس السريلانكي الجديد أنورا كومارا ديساناياكي اليمين الدستورية، ووعد ”بإعادة كتابة التاريخ“ لبلد يتعافى من أسوأ أزمة اقتصادية في تاريخه.

The left-leaning Dissanayake has cast himself as a disruptor of the status quo, and analysts see his victory as a rejection of corruption and cronyism that has long plagued the country.

Saturday's election was the first since 2022, when discontent over the economy fuelled mass protests and chased former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa from power.

Dissanayake has promised to develop Sri Lanka's manufacturing, agriculture and IT sectors. He has also committed to continuing the deal struck with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to bail Sri Lanka out of the economic crisis while reducing the impact of its austerity measures on the country’s poorest, the BBC said.
