It appears that the foreingn Diplomats have realised that the Government is corruption free. This has resulted in their attempt to reach new agreements to enhance economic and trade relations with Sri Lanka

Are you aware of the building standards of foreign diplomatic embassies.? The security of it and around it ? The communication secrecy between the embassy and with its country, etc. You are a frog in a well. Try and get out of SL for a few months to travel abroad if you can. You will become a changed person in your attitudes towards standards in life, mannerisms, respect for all communities, not to get involved in other peoples business.

Why only new Ambassadors and a High Commissioner? What about old Ambassadors?

You all were criticised RW for celebrating independence. So I would like to ask you all is it ethical to celebrate, when the country is in a crisis.
