After the Ministers were sworn in Mangala and SB had got set again
During the time of the Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga government Mangala Samaweera and S.B.Dissanayake were very close to each other supporting the former president Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga.
After President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunge's regime was over their association was not that close.However with the formation of the national government the duo Mangala and SB have once again got close to each other which is shown in this photograph.This is none other than renewing their former attachment.
Since the initial friendship they had clashed in various ways had gone in opposite directions and once more in the 100 day programme of the former government had worked together.
SB Dissanayake was sworn in as the social empowerment and welfare minister while Mangala Samaraweera was sworn in as the minister of foreign Affairs.The two sitting together are shown in the photographs.
