Trillions to recover from bond scam under his government and the commission he appointed doesn't even has the power to question the main suspect. Don't forget to tell that as well

Please Mr. President don't say anything against North Korea. Please also deny about our previous denounce statements.

We Sri Lankan think high of the Westerners but they consider us as dark brown inferior beings and none of our political leaders are given true respect when they visit any of the White Countries.

For those critics who hold that the visit is worthless or useless expense, our humble president will set an example of Yahaplanaya in action by traveling in economy class.
