Honestly, pretty impressive,

• One of the smallest Cabinet, unchanges even after 2 years
• Economy on the rise
• Growing exports, a shrinking budget deficit, and a current-account budget surplus after decades
• Public transport upgrades like Metro buses
• Digitisation, including GovPay
• Battery storage supporting the national grid
• Stalled infrastructure projects moving again
• Education reforms underway
• Efforts to curb corruption and strengthen law and order
• New legislation etc. etc.

All amidst US tariffs, the Middle East conflict, Cyclone Ditwah, emerging El Niño risks and relentless pressure from an opposition united at any cost to protect their own and bring this government down by any means.

There is room for improvement, but IMV, this is the best government we’ve ever had.

“Why are you chasing only one family?”

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake responds to criticism over corruption investigations, saying if members of a family have stolen public money, all those responsible must face the law.

“When the law is operational, I am blind. I cannot see who cries or whose tears fall”

🇱🇰 Sri Lanka has pulled off a miraculous economic recovery, years after a devastating economic crisis.

Most South Asian countries are designated ‘lower middle income.’ But on July 1, the World Bank upgraded Sri Lanka to ‘upper middle income’ after its economy grew 5% in 2025, outpacing its 3.5% forecast.

The World Bank designates upper middle income countries as those with gross national income (GNI) per capita of $4,636 to $14,375. GNI is equivalent to GDP plus net income from abroad, which accounts for foreign debt. Sri Lanka, with a GNI per capita of $4,670, joins upper middle income countries such as China, Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa.

That said, GDP per capita is the more popular global metric. Sri Lanka has South Asia’s second-highest at $5,002 — crossing $5,000 for the first time in its modern history — surpassing that of Bhutan ($4,493), India ($2,703), Bangladesh ($2,597), Pakistan ($1,596), and Nepal ($1,536). Maldives has the region’s highest GDP per capita, $14,615.

Sri Lanka’s growth is especially remarkable because of its 2022 economic crisis, when it owed roughly $51 billion in foreign debt. As forex reserves plummeted, it couldn’t pay for necessities like medicine and fuel. It also halted debt repayments.

After getting a multibillion-dollar IMF bailout, Sri Lanka raised taxes, cut public spending, and restructured its debt. It received $4 billion in aid and credit from India, and saw its tourism sector improve. An all-time high of 2.3 million visitors arrived in 2025, bringing much-needed foreign currency.

“Sri Lanka is a story of recovery. Just three years after a severe economic crisis brought the country to the brink of collapse in 2022, real GDP grew by 5% in 2025, driven by a rebound across industries and growth in financial and tourism services,” the World Bank wrote. “The reclassification is a marker of resilience.”

A young girl from Sri Lanka has won over the internet with her porcupine “brother.”

In one clip, she explains she’s from Sri Lanka. “Senehma’s residence. We are not from Bangladesh but the beautiful village called Sinhapura in Polonnaruwa.”

In the most viral video, which Prabha Silva posted on June 11, you see her walking in a paddy field carrying an animal as her porcupine faithfully trails her. Silva captioned it: “Little porcupine brother going to the paddy field with his elder sister.”

I look forward to working together, within the strong India–Sri Lanka partnership, towards greater prosperity and progress.
The people of Sri Lanka join me in wishing you and the people of Tamil Nadu every success.

Walking miles alone just to secure a drop of water for his family. This is the daily reality for children in Palestine. No playground, no classroom just a long, lonely road in search of survival.
