Opposition candidate General Fonseka has made many  significant promises in each of these issue areas, and we could expect  that his new government would be interested in moving forward more  quickly than the Rajapaksa government. Nevertheless, the key issue areas  of concern remain the same notwithstanding the election, and we would  expect any Sri Lankan government to continue to make progress. Please  note that our lists of “Next Steps” are not in any order of priority or  importance,” the cable stated.</blockquote>
