A warm luncheon discussion with former President Ranil Wickramasinghe @RW_SRILANKA illuminated my first day in Sri Lanka. Though his sacrifices for and services to his nation in recent years have been overtaken in the heady rush of political transformation, history is bound to be kinder to him than contemporary political judgements might be. I have enjoyed his friendship for nearly two decades, and I believe he has the best interests of his country and the broader region genuinely at heart.

Such a pleasure to catch up with @JeevanThondaman, whom I have known since he was Sri Lanka’s youngest Cabinet Minister. Educated, well-spoken and constructive young political figures like him are truly the future of the subcontinent.

Repercussions of the cancellation of the project with Amul India. It was a 30-year joint venture to revolutionize the dairy industry and increase capacity and technology. As usual short sighted Jeppo ruined it. https://t.co/CyjmfzSaOJ
Heartbreaking scenes from the potters' protest: "We pawned our jewelry just to bring these pots to market, only to smash them in despair." A powerful reminder that those who craft the vessels for our traditions are struggling to survive. 🏺💔

Tony Blair and New Labour. We forced our opponents to change their minds”. I didn’t just win elections, I reshaped the entire political landscape. said Margaret Thatcher 2002. Déjà Vu isn’t it the same what happened in Sri Lanka Anura following @RW_SRILANKA footsteps.
