8 January 2019 07:41 pm

Joint opposition MP Wimal Weerawansa today asked Foreign Affairs Minister Tilak Marapana whether the US has been allowed to set up a naval base in Trincomalee.

The minister told Mr. Weerawansa to inquire about it from the Ministry of Defence because it was a matter that came under its purview.

“I am not aware it is not a matter that comes under my ministry,” Mr. Marapana said. (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)
