All the Best! Though some may call you names you can end up as a true leader (at least comparatively).

Hope our President do not take the family along to the UN General Assembly Chamber. Last time it was a big mistake to take the son in leaving out our own UN rep outside.

Sir, make this speech in Sinhala. Make it nice and clear where Sri Lanka is heading with reconciliation given top priority. I am sure all the members from the cavilled world will appreciate the work done by your government. You are a son of a poor farmer, you are great.

Some mistake humility for inferior complex and arrogant brazenness as strong personality.

He is taking close to 70 nos according to Yahapalana rules.

Manel Monday, 12 September 2016 01:07 PM

That is better than taking a plane load of 270 at our expense.

Nuwan Monday, 12 September 2016 01:09 PM

That I am afraid is the servile inferior mentality of the goons.

Manel Monday, 12 September 2016 01:11 PM

At his age he must have a close relative close to him when he travels abroad. Nothing wrong.

Mannet Monday, 12 September 2016 01:15 PM

This question you have to ask Ranil.

Mevan Monday, 12 September 2016 01:19 PM

Preferably. Even Japanese PM addresses in Japanese.

sanjeewa Monday, 12 September 2016 01:56 PM

Maneltaking 27o nos will be more than Rs. 1.5bn CB saga??from whom you recover that??

The minimum delegation should be at least 71. Another instance where Tax money is put to not so good use

Nothing wrong taking the whole family on a pleasure trip as long as he pays for it himself
