President Gotabaya Rajapaksa was expected to visit United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the near future to procure fuel, Parliamentarian Mahindananda Aluthgamage said yesterday.

He told a news conference that discussions had initiated with Russian Ambassordor to Sri Lanka to facilitate a telephone conversation between President Rajapaksa and Russian President Vladimir Putin to reach an agreement for procurement of fuel.

The MP said the government had formulated a comprehensive mechanism to ensure continuous fuel supply after July 10.

Aluthgamage said the President was constantly in contact with Indian Prime Minister, Petroleum Resources Minister and Foreign Minister to procure fuel from India.

He said the President had a discussion with the seven fuel importers to Sri Lanka and took steps to resolve issues concerning fuel supply.

    Prof Jey R Thursday, 30 June 2022 09:37 AM

    Still taking money from Mahinanda Aluthgamage 's PR Agencies and publishing useless News like a propaganda of claiming SLPP bringing in Fuel ??? Why Now ??? Once Ranil secure the supply by Next Week and solve the problems . Wana steal that success from UNP

    Al Faqu Thursday, 30 June 2022 09:42 AM

    No shame! Begging from Muslim countries. The Easter attacks and the forced cremations of Muslims was the beginning of the end of this country.
