MR to visit Japan in March

Saturday, 19 January 2013 06:05

President Mahinda Rajapaksa will undertake a seven-day official visit to Japan in March this year and hold talks with the newly elected Japanese government, informed sources said.

The visit was to have taken place in December last year but had to be postponed to March. He will be accompanied by a ministerial delegation. An agreement for further economic co-operation between the two countries will also be signed.

This will be the second official visit by the President to Japan after he took office in 2005.(KB)

Does Japan wants to entertain a president, who has blatantly violated the constitution of the country against the ruling of the highest court of the country? He has broken now the very oath taken to uphold the constitution & thus legally an illegitimate head.

Maybe, Japanese want to give him a crash tuition on respecting the constitution and the Supreme Court of the country.......!

Jayawewa is what the Germans said to Hitler, Jayawewa is what the Soviets said to Stalin, Jayawewa is what the cambodians said to Pol Pot, Jayawewa is what the N. Koreans said to Kim Jong IL. When people are intoxicated by a false leader, the outcome is the death of DEMOCRACY! Mr. Hambantota don't deceive your self with being punch drunk!
