Sri Lanka is likely to request Japan to initiate a dialogue with Sri Lanka’s creditors including China and India, foreign media reported yesterday.

The report quoted President Ranil Wickremesinghe of making such a remark.

It was also reported that President Wickremesinghe was scheduled to travel to Tokyo next month to hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida but a spokesman from the President’s office told Daily Mirror that he will fly to Japan to attend the funeral of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Meanwhile Mr.Wickremesnghe earlier on Tuesday made a somewhat similar remark when he said Sri Lanka will have to talk to Japan on how Sri Lanka could come out of woods. He stressed the need for having a dialogue with top donors including India and China. He also said talks will go on with the IMF in order to finalize a staff level agreement. In addition the President revealed that LAZARD one of the advisors on Sri Lanka’s debt resettlement had prepared a distress sustainability plan. (Yohan Perera)

    Ha Ha Ha! I am rolling. I worked for a leading Japanese multinational IT company in Japan for over 2 decades and still in touch with my former colleagues. The know the current situation in Sri Lanka more than we ordinary citizens. They know of the corruption and looting in Sri Lanka. The two main are 1. That Satellite and 2. The Light Rail Project. Japan will not help Sri Lanka in discussing with its creditors. This government is not in position the address the economic crisis. The only way out is a new mandate from the people.

    Why don't we have elections and select a president who will only speak words which no-one else would understand and has no clue about putting the economy right?

    This shows that our 2500 year Sinhala Buddhist Civilization have is now morally ethically and financially bankrupt and is unable to wipe its/our backsides and clean our shite and have to ask another country to do to this. The great scam that we were foisting on the civilized world has unravelled.
