COLOMBO, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena on Saturday congratulated Imran Khan, who was sworn in as Pakistan's 22nd prime minister in Islamabad.
In a message, Sirisena said he is confident that Khan's leadership would help steer Pakistan towards peace, prosperity and sustainability, as relations between Sri Lanka and Pakistan grow further.
Khan's party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, secured victory in a general election held in Pakistan last month and will now form a new central government.
