President Putin if you want to help genuinely Sri Lanka please remove duty on Ceylon Teas.

Hipo Monday, 17 October 2016 12:49 PM

Yes indeed. When we were in need, Russia was there with us. We must not forget this!!

BuffaloaCitizen Monday, 17 October 2016 01:05 PM

Yeah, yeah understand the "strengthening ties" which translates to... don't back any vote against Russia for all the criminality we commit in Syria, Ukraine etc..

Aruna Monday, 17 October 2016 01:13 PM

Wait, we have to ask from India, USA and EU that they have promised to take us to the prosperity!

Sincere Monday, 17 October 2016 01:27 PM

We are a country of peace Mr.Putin. With your nuclear arsanels you have just fixed in Syria which is a therat to peace in the middle east you cannot help a peaceful nation like Sri Lanka. First remove them.

USA and EU are demanding with us, but Russia and China are true friends. They didn't against Sinhalese.

Nihal Amarasekera Monday, 17 October 2016 01:45 PM

Yes we must respect Russia. They were with us in good as well as bad times without strings attached.

Hon. President ! take this opportunity in favour of our country and get maximum to develop SL's economy

Gayan Monday, 17 October 2016 02:11 PM

All I remember is that Putin offered to buy prime quality fish that EU did not want to have for 25% of the value. Putin is only interested in Sri Lanka for his own benefits!

Gayan Monday, 17 October 2016 02:43 PM

Sir the foreign policy of SL is under our PM not under Pres. Our PM has a pro western foreign policy like his uncle. Our govt will side with your enemies just like they recently side with India against our old friend Pakistan.
