British-born financier and a member of Rothschild family, Nathaniel Rothschild said his recent visit to Sri Lanka was to explore the country’s suitability as a manufacturing location for electronics, while calling the island nation “a true gem with a great future.”

He also said he was highly impressed by the government and its pandemic response as well as the businesses he met with.

“Just finished a trip to learn first hand about SL’s suitability as a manufacturing location for electronics. Came away highly impressed by govt. of @PresRajapaksa and its pandemic response as well as the businesses I met. Sri Lanka is a true gem with a great future,” Rothschild tweeted.

The 49-year old, who is popularly known as Nat, is the heir apparent to the centuries-old European banking dynasty and the only son of Jacob Rothschild, the 4th Baron Rothschild.

Nat, who is based in Switzerland, is the Executive Chairman and the largest shareholder of UK-listed Volex PLC, a global integrated manufacturing company.

Many others said the same in 80s. Then JVP and LTTE decided to take up arms to pursue fairy tales. Rest is history.

Our socialists would call you a "mudalali" and create a monster out of you. That is the sad story of this land. People going after an idea called Socialism that was born in Europe but completely rejected in Europe.

I'm waiting for a comment that says that Rajapakshe's wealth is with the Rothschilds. That is how creative our citizen are when it comes to character assasination.

The world's most powerful family which started in Germany and ended financing all the Colonial Empires, their wars, and their power over most of the world. Without this family the British Empire would not have happened. "I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire, ...The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire. And I control the money supply.” Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836)
