CBK in her 90- minute speech highlighted the main features of the government's programme for their six-year term in office. She firmly expressed her desire to put an end to the on going war, which splits the country apart. And also highlighted the importance of finding a lasting solution to solve the ethnic crisis. Moreover elaborating on this point she said, "No scheme can be perfected or satisfy everybody... we must all give and take, we must sink our differences and present a united front to achieve our objectives." Further she presented the economic and social targets that they seek to achieve. The priority is given to the diversity in economic development. The main emphasis will be on the rapid development of infrastructure facilities. The second is the increase of production through productivity improvement and the use of modern technology. The third is the eradication of poverty through the increase in personal income and reduction of anomalies in distribution of individual income. However she constantly stressed that this brutal war is the factor which decides the country's future. And all other things could be achieved only if we put an end to the ethnic crisis. In her speech she made a special reference to the necessity for an electoral system which will truly reflect public will, while ensuring representation of the small parties and small communities in our society. Further she invited the Opposition to join hands with the government. "...this very same conflict is the greatest challenge confronting him,(Leader of Opposition) and his party too. I would like him to iron out any differences through discussion and to join hands with the government in arriving at a solution to this problem by forwarding constructive ideas." she said.
