    Bravo! This adds another feather in NPPs cap. This gesture indicates the willingness of friendly countries to join hands and cooperate with NPP in view of their openness, transparency and steadiness.

    Sam Silva Tuesday, 19 March 2024 06:25 PM

    It's not the friendly countries going to elect the party at the election but the people of the country

    Telltale sign…

    Gamini Tuesday, 19 March 2024 02:28 PM

    SriLankans are doomed

    Lasa Perera Tuesday, 19 March 2024 02:33 PM

    This indicates that all the countries are willing to work with NPP government and they know who are the next government. Have any ambassadors met Sajith so far?

    SenPera Tuesday, 19 March 2024 02:43 PM

    If so, Sri Lankans are doomed. Ambassadors are just making sure they'll be able to pick the corpses for the remaining debt,

    Nippon Tuesday, 19 March 2024 03:16 PM

    They wanted to check with Anura whether Nimal Siripala will join his cabinet!

    Cherath Tuesday, 19 March 2024 03:26 PM

    This and other similar approaches to the NPP are a clear sign which way the wind is blowing and justifies the outcome of many opinion polls recently. No country wants to be left out when the results are announced.

    Gamini Tuesday, 19 March 2024 04:09 PM

    These ambassadors do not vote in SL elections, hence do not decide who our next President would be

    jack in the box Tuesday, 19 March 2024 04:35 PM

    Good! Friendly nations know the old and corrupt system is about to get a good rattling. hope to see all the rogues put behind the slammer by an NPP gov.

    Jeanne Wednesday, 20 March 2024 04:07 PM

    It's part of their job to check out the fakes. As for the corrupt system, the JVP aka the NPP are ready and able to make it even more corrupt but this time with an added element of terror.

    The duty of diplomats is to meet political leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, sportsmen, clergy etc., and to report back to their country about their ideas and thinking patterns. This guy seems to think he has already became the President, when an ambassador calls on him. Very immature man.

    Jayampathi Tuesday, 19 March 2024 05:37 PM

    Gamini and SenPerera, What have the past leaders done. We could have easily been Singapore or South Korea. Do you want a repeat of the past ? Do you want 0.5 % of the people enjoy 90 % of the wealth. I have to still decide whether I should vote for one of the old political parties or this new party. I am still in decision stage.

    Ravi Tuesday, 19 March 2024 06:14 PM

    He reminds us of his predecessor (the late) Rohana Wijeyweera.

    dana Tuesday, 19 March 2024 07:19 PM

    Public don’t need to refer various statistics to follow,would be results of forthcoming elections, many diplomats of developed countries of the world wanted to meet AKD and build up close rapport with him, that indicates which way the wind blows

    Kumudu mumudu Wednesday, 20 March 2024 03:19 AM

    Which way the wind blows? Ha ha ha Wait until the Election Day to feel it!

    Jeanne Wednesday, 20 March 2024 03:03 AM

    For all the people getting their hopes up just because various foreign ambassadors want to meet with this guy don't get too excited. Just because you meet up with a prospective "candidate" doesn't mean that they are willing to do business with him. It's part of their due diligence. On the contrary, I would be extremely nervous about it. Once they unwrap the shiny wrapping paper all they are going to find is a rotting carcass of bitterness, revenge, terror and greed. The re-branded JVP are nothing but a pack of wolves in sheep's clothing.

    Worst thugs to power Wednesday, 20 March 2024 03:15 AM

    Permanent bankruptcy is coming if NPP is elected.

    Jeanne Wednesday, 20 March 2024 04:09 PM

    Yep! They'll line their pockets, furnish their houses, send their families overseas all the while penalising those who have worked hard to make a comfortable life for themselves - just like their founder and mad leader Rohana Wijeweera did.

    Allipattiya@yahoo.co.uk Wednesday, 20 March 2024 05:20 AM

    I would seriously urge anyone thinking of voting for the NPP to speak with elderly relatives in your family. They will be able to tell you what to expect ?! These people are not only thugs but wolves in sheep clothing !!! :-)
