Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Even though Belgium and Sri Lanka are democracies, they have been confronted with the issue of cultural diversity.
Belgian leaders realised that it is essential for the country's unity to respect the sentiments and interests of various populations. The Constitution requires that the number of Dutch and French speakers in the central government be equal.
