President Chandrika Kumaratunga said that we must build a peace that guarantees and safeguards the freedom, democratic rights and human rights of the people of all the areas of the country. 

“The theme of the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, more than anything else, is happiness, peace, unity, prosperity and co-existence. The importance and relevance of this theme has been brought into focus today more than at any time before,” the President said in her New Year message. 

President Kumaratunga said that peace should be equally meaningful to all and without the peace and unity of the South, the peace and unity of the North or East cannot be complete.
