President requests for support from Opposition for implementation of IMF programme

 

President Ranil Wickremesinghe has requested for the Opposition’s support towards rebuilding Sri Lanka from its ongoing crisis, despite their conflicting political views.

“When I became the Prime Minister I wasted no time in requesting the support of the Opposition towards the effort of rebuilding the economy of the country.

Subsequently, at the occasion of opening of Parliament as the President I once again requested their support but it was to no avail.

Yet again, at the occasion of the opening of this Parliament Session too I sought their support.
