Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa was never scheduled to meet US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during the latter’s visit to Sri Lanka, officials said on Friday.
“There has been much speculation about PM @PresRajapaksa not meeting @SecPompeo.To set the record straight: #SriLanka PM was never scheduled to meet Mr. Pompeo. Given Sec. Pompeo's short visit, meeting with one member of the senior #lka leadership was deemed sufficient,” Director General (International Affairs) of the Prime Minister’s Office Anuradha Herath tweeted.
