President Sirisena congratulates British Premier Cameron

President Maithripala Sirisena has sent a congratulatory message to British Prime Minister David Cameron upon his re-election.

The message of the President states that the re-election of the British Prime Minister has laid a strong foundation for bilateral relations. The message further states that the re-election of Prime Minister Cameron is an encouragement to the progress of both countries.

David Cameron has returned to Downing Street as Prime Minister, and three political leaders have fallen on their swords, after an extraordinary election night in Britain.

The Tories outperformed even their own expectations by winning a majority of seats, while Labour and the Liberal Democrats suffered bitter losses. Meanwhile, Scotland has been seized by the nationalists.
