Never ever learn from dubai. One of the best country for security. Compare with SRILANKA, SRILANKA zero zero. First they must send the politicians to learn from dubai ministers.

Ralaharamy Friday, 17 December 2021 05:25 PM

Why is our Minister concerned with Taliban? Taliban came to power with the blessing of the USA as we all know. If you are concerned with Taliban, go to their country Afghanistan; Why Dubai?

Seera Friday, 17 December 2021 05:30 PM

Must have gone to look for Jangis.

Many of the biggest and powerful SriLankan Underworld Drug Lords are supposed to be operating from Dubai. How come the Public Security Minister is not probing this issue in Dubai ?

Looks like Taliban is getting the taste of its own medicine delivered by ISIS, while the population is starving.

What a delegation? What a cheap way to earn a living.

Must be on a shopping trip on common man's money. Why those things can't be virtual meeting as it happening all over the world? If Biden and Putin can talk on zoom why can't Weerasekara?
