“We Are All Fighters in the Struggle for True Freedom” – President

The 77th National Independence Day celebrations commenced this morning (04) at Independence Square under the patronage of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.

Addressing the nation, the President emphasized the need to go beyond political, ethnic, and social divisions to achieve full economic and social freedom. He highlighted that true independence is not merely a historical milestone but an ongoing struggle that requires collective effort.

“Today is a day to honor the countless brave individuals who made sacrifices to secure our freedom. While we have come a long way, the journey toward economic, social, and cultural liberation is not over,” he stated.

President Dissanayake urged all Sri Lankans—farmers, teachers, health workers, security forces, and public servants—to recognize their vital roles in shaping a prosperous and equitable nation. He stressed that Sri Lanka must embrace modern advancements while preserving its cultural identity and national dignity.

“Freedom is not just about governance; it is about creating a society of equality, dignity, and opportunity. Let us walk this path together and make Sri Lanka a beacon of democracy and justice in the modern world,” he concluded.
