'Sources close to President Wickremesinghe said today'? Name these sources to prove this isn't a load of hogwash.

This is a case of asking a location from a person who is visually challenged.

This the best international acknowledgement so far of the proven democratic leadership qualities of President Ranil Wickremasinghe which enabled Sri Lanka to arise from the economic and political disaster. It also highlight the sincere and eager wish of Prime minister of Bangladesh to pull his country out of total anarchy .Wish all Bangladeshis may have the wisdom and courage to put their country again on the path of peace , development and prosperity for all citizens.

@Grace - The request seeking assistance from Hon Ranil Wickremasinghe to stabilise Bangladesh has come from a Nobel laureate and not from a person in the calibre of AKD.

Those who have been blinded by JVP rhetoric refuse to appreciate the capabilities of President Ranil Wickramasinghe.

Some credits should go towards RW on mending the economy but he has saved Rajapakse family from the corruption investigations. Can he put on his agenda to bring back the stolen money back to our country?

Great. Instead of having early elections in Bang, He can continue and complete rest of her election period. (Wonder if Mainas loan taken from Haseena).

Bangladesh under Sheik Hasina was in a better situation than our perpetual basket case paradise which since independence remains dependent on handouts whereas India and Bangladesh are reasonably financially independent.

Give me a break. I am sure there is a back story to this and this is how it might have played out- RW calls Yunus to congratulate him and offers SL’s support which are typical comments heads of states make to each other when they speak. Our champion loser, would have interpreted this as Bangaladesh requested his help. Imagine RW telling a Nobel Laurette such as Yunus how to manipulate people, the system and hoodwink young protestors to grab power. Besides Bangaladesh was not facing financial crisis such as us but a policy issue. The only advise our champion loser could give Yunus is to appoint several committees and procrastinate.

President Ranil's service is vital not only in Sri Lanka but also in South Asia and even global arena. If Sheik Hasina had sought the advice of our president the situation in Bangladesh would have been handful. Yet it is not too late, we hope safety and security of the people definitely would be ensured in the near future with the guidance of our president.

I am sure. Infact I may not vote for him. Cos I believe v need to give another a chance. But Ranil is definitely the most intelligent leader in the world right now. So the world should ask him his advise.

@ Grace -Comments are flowing to promote the fledgling NPP who have contributed damage to the economy by their past actions. It is not necessary to wash dirty linen but today's generation do not know the past led by the very politicians who are leading down a precipice of disaster. Always they only say is we will get back the funds robbed from the government. For the last several years there has been a deadlock as the investigators cannot provide evidence to bring these culprits to a Court of law. Is this going to be done through a Kangaroo Court like in the past where many innocent died. The Rajapakse's and their clan have manipulated by destroying all evidence. What about the economy how can you entrust this mediocre lot who are good talkers like the hind legs of donkeys. Even at this last moment have the rationale to choose what is good and bad otherwise your name will have a prefix of dis to your name grace to the public.!!!!!
