There would be terrorism that would not exist in the world if the powerful nations stop manufacturing weapons, according to President Maithripala Sirisena.
The President pointed out that no terrorist organization in the world produces weapons. He added that powerful countries in the world produce weapons and otherwise there will be no terrorism in the world.
The countries who are at the top of technological advancements speak of peace and human rights, yet the same technology is used to destroy human beings, the President said.
Stating that, today, most social media spread falsehoods and mislead people, the President stated that a world filled with character assassinations has emerged through new technology.
President Sirisena expressed these views at a function held in Polonnaruwa.
