Bilateral talks.? I am sure a long list of wishlist is prepared by Indian Gurus and waiting for RW. He may have agreed to sign the dotted lines on all the agreements for getting audience with Mr Modi.

Objective is to sell more inferior products at high margin through corrupt politicians. And to control the affairs and to keep Sri Lanka at the poverty level.

As usual you carry the country's hopes, wishes and expectations on your shoulders. All the best, Ranil.

This is the problem with Sri Lankan majority race. Suspicious of India. However willing to fall and worship India for a loan, fuel and medicine and scholarships for their people.Please note there are no free lunch in any part of the world.
