Habemus Papam! We have a Pope!

நட்புக் கொள்வது போன்ற அரிய செயல் இல்லை அதுபோல் பாதுகாப்புக்கு ஏற்ற செயலும் வேறொன்றில்லை

கொழும்புக்கு வருகைதந்துள்ளேன். விமான நிலையத்தில் என்னை வரவேற்ற அமைச்சர்கள் மற்றும் ஏனைய பிரமுகர்கள் அனைவருக்கும் எனது நன்றி. இலங்கையில் பங்கேற்கவுள்ள நிகழ்வுகள் குறித்து ஆவலுடன் உள்ளேன்.

While we stand with Myanmar and Thailand during this difficult time following the earthquake, I urge Sri Lanka to immediately consult and consider sending Sri Lankan forces to assist with rescue operations in Myanmar & Thailand along with our tri-forces medical team to provide vital support. It’s crucial that the government doesn’t limit its responsibility to just statements, but takes meaningful action to help in this time of crisis. It’s time for Sri Lanka to step up and make a real difference during the time of need. #Myanmar #Thailand #EarthquakeinMyanmar #MyanmarEarthquake

“Till today, no one from Sri Lanka’s tourism sector has ever approached me for any collaboration or program. Yet, I’ve participated in tourism promotions across many countries including Abu Dhabi, where they’ve made significant investments in me to promote their destinations.”
