This follows public disillusionment with the political class and marks a rejection of painful austerity economic policies. The main challenge for the new president will be to strengthen the economy and renegotiate the IMF agreement to lower the cost of living. In foreign affairs, he will pursue pragmatic policy and work with all partners to improve the country’s economic situation. Poland may consider intensifying political and economic cooperation with Sri Lanka, including in the tourism, maritime, and education sectors.}, title={Presidential Elections in Sri Lanka Brought Historic Change}, type={file}, keywords={Sri Lanka, wybory prezydenckie, głowy państw, Dissanayake, Anura Kumara, zmiana rządu/zmiana władzy, sytuacja wewnętrzna, stosunki zagraniczne}, }
