Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe on Sunday said his government is hoping to fully implement the 13th Amendment to its ­Constitution as mooted by India to facilitate unity among all the communities so that they could live as one.

India has been pressing Sri Lanka to implement the 13th Amendment which was brought in after the Indo-Sri Lankan agreement of 1987.

The 13A provides for the devolution of power to the Tamil community.
