The worst Foreign Minister after Rohitha Bogollagama in SL history. Aiyo Sirisena or local thug Prasanna Ranawaka would do a better job as foreign minister than this Joker.

EU ambassadors knows we're politically screwed for the last 73 years!! Well, economic wise we borrow and borrow like no other!! We import pretty much everything!! Nothing have been done to increase GDP for the last 35 years!!! Just for the record economic development is zero !! Furthermore, at the rate the Rupee depreciating you'll need a wheelbarrow to Carry the SL Rupees to get $100. US dollars!! No need to appraise, these days all information on your fingertips !! Yeah!!

He should have the backbone to show his true face instead of lying to the foreign dignitaries.
