We have been given a special feature in the January issue of Business Today, Sri Lanka’s most prestigious business magazine. Over six pages, the publication explores the positive impact that @irajonline and I have made on political communication in Sri Lanka. It is also a great honour for us to be featured on the cover alongside several of the country’s most respected business leaders.
We are asking for the public's help identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.

I'm extremely happy to meet the minister of #defence of #Terkey YASAR GULER and discuss about potential mutual bilateral assistantence in multiple platforms while attending the International defense exhibition. The Turkish defence minister highly admired 1/2
2/2 by the #NCC during the terrorist conflict & in the postwar national development process. I further said that in addition to the current allotment of admissions for NCC training, more possibilities will be given to Muslim & Tamil schools @NCCSriLanka@LkDefence#SriLanka
It was a pleasure to speak to the National Cadet Corps officers this morning at the Army headquarters. I emphasized the value of NCC training in creating disciplined & productive citizens while they are still in school while also praising the significant services provided 1/2
I firmly believe that #race, #religion, caste, and party differences should be set aside in order to forge a broad front now that the unstable #economy has somewhat stabilized. Thus, the goal of creating a stable economy can soon become a reality for all of us. #SriLanka#lka
Pleased to meet with Jedidiah P Royal, Principle Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs today (16). We discussed strengthening the #defence cooperation between the two nations. @DeptofDefense @USEmbSL@LkDefence#lka#SriLanka
Devastating, utterly terrifying news of a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Turkey. Prayers For Turkey ,Syria And All Other Countries Affected By Earthquake. @slembankara@MFA_SriLanka#Syria#PrayForTurkey
3/3 The overall aim of the strategic #blueprint is to broach a technically & tactically sound & well-balanced defense force by the year 2030 in order to meet upcoming security challenges on a par w/ the National Security dimensions of the country. @LkDefence#SriLanka#rightsize
2/3 by way of assuring national and human security. Thus, despite the approved cadre of the #Army, which is now 200,783, it will be reduced to 135,000 by 2024 and it has been projected to right size the strength to 100,000 by 2030.
1/3 The strength of the #military & sustainable economic development are two sides of a coin, which stay together, but never talk to each other in open. Military spending is basically the state born #expenditure, which indirectly stimulates and opens avenues for #economic growth
