Mr. President !This time get a Chinese who understands the problem to negotiate , a 33 or 133 delegation is not the question . When you return you abide by your decisions - LONG TERM - for the sake of our citizens and the future mutual benefits of our two great nations.Happy Chinese new year !

We thought the change in governance was due to bad old habits..but they still continue? Also, the 7% annual progress was due perhaps to the large contingents the then Prez took with him to sort out problems in the spot..anything wrong with it?

Tell China that we will not give them any land on free hold basis.

Mr.President what ever you do, do not allow freehold property of 50 acres to be given to Chinese companies in Colombo Port City project. It is against the law of the country to be given land to foreign companies.
