I like to see him in full suit which we have not seen up to now . The critics will start to project this as he is embracing capitalism and getting accustom to luxury life. We appreciate your change of attire to suit the modern day politics .

Yesterday Canada declared India as a “ threat to Canadian democracy “. This is not being reported in Asian papers so most Asians continue to give reverence to India. In North America Canada is viewed as a suspect. Google to find out what Canadian Intelligence ( CSIS ) has said about India yesterday .

Soo many Indians in Canada, very soon an Indian will become head of state of Canada, similar to England.

This is a good trend. NPP should now connect more with the outside world. Being a party with no history of corruption, they have the ability to form a winning force, which may replace the corrupt traditional political parties. Glad to see this. Best wishes.

A comparison of the calibre of staff Ranil takes on his foreign visits and Anura takes on his ( two professors a specialist doctor) tell a lot about the difference between the two men. One is just going to have a fun time and the other is focused on beneficial bilateral trade relations. You decide which one is which.

His talks are futile bc the problems in SL are entrenched ones. He has got to clean the swamp. It will take time. However, in palmistry the lines on his hands look very presidential!

The more leaders he meets, the more they will understand and like him. No better comparison of quality and professionalism when you look at this delegation to they joy riders that RW and MR Co. used to take with them. All look good for Sri Lanka

India knows who will be the president of Srilanka in coming October. India wants to have good understanding with the next president.

Keep it up AKD. Proud to see you in discussion with Dr. Jaishankar, a highly respected professional and a policy maker. Continue your bilateral discussion with other Asian leaders as well. Your new look suits you well!

A lot of foreign policy signals - AKD's open palm body language giving signals of being open and trustworthy. India signalling to the rest of the world that it is ready to work with the next administration in Sri Lanka - look at JayShankar's body language and seat positions

Invitation by India to AKD is a clear indication the outcome of the next Presidential Election in Sri Lanka and who they expect to be next the President. India is doing its ground work to work with the future President. Yes Sri Lanka needs change and a new party to rule. Enough of these rogue parties.

AKD is a srilankan who has been politics for a long time to become the President of Srilanka no doubt about that we have get rid off these corrupt regime we have nothing to lose lost everything so we don't have to think twice to vote for Anura.We saw how difficult to put a minister behind bars, Keheliya is prison hospital, if he was out you would have seen him dancing and singing, what a contrasting behaviour.
