He never studied in the university and followed economic studies So what he can talk in economic and geopolitics Compare to other leaders He is too old

There are many coming out of university having studied economics, public finance and geopolitics who do not qualify to get anywhere close to the stage on which he so confidently engages other learned persons on similar topics internationally. Some who have serious chips on their shoulders will no doubt cast aspersions on his capability.

As a German who is currently back in the country and a good expert on Sri Lanka, I wish Ranil Wickremesigne, despite the fact that he is a president not elected by the people, much success in his contact discussions with the international business elites represented in Berlin in the interests of those suffering People of Sr Lanka!!! This country deserves the help and support of international countries because of its people who face an extremely difficult struggle for life every day!!! Not because of the vast majority of current politicians who have brought this wonderful country close to bankruptcy!!! But the political change in Sri Lanka will come, I am sure, with a strong, incorruptible president (Sarath Fonseka!), a responsible government and parliamentarians who will primarily make revitalizing the economy and the well-being of the people the goal of their policies make !!!

On this political basis, the international economy can then safely plan projects for the future and make investments!!!

One doesn't have to study economics at a university to master economics. One of the former Australian prime ministers Paul Keating was awarded Honorary Doctorates in Laws from both Keio University in Tokyo and the National University of Singapore. He had no formal university education. Where in Sri Lanka, there are so many people with official university qualifications but have never been to a university.

The president is going to attend global Dialogue when the people of this country are starving, no water to drink, no proper roads to walk. Is he living on another planet.

Why cannot Ranil (and other leaders on the begging crawl for $) participate through zooming? This will save a fortune on flights, accommodation and meals, In the year of his office, how many overseas trips has Ranil made and how many days was he away from SL lecturing other countries how to be prudent and frugal?

Sam Silva Wednesday, 27 September 2023 05:29 PM

If he does zooming, then he can't take the pictures to make him important.

If one has been in business negotiations they will understand the difference between a zoom calls and an in person meetings. The comparosons of the two options are extreme. If people only bothered to carefully scrutinise his itenerary and agendas on the recent visit to Cuba and Washington they would understand what was undertaken and accomplished and that it was no joy trip.

First you have a dialogue with your own people the 50% who have been pushed below poverty levels, the ones who are going to bed with just one meal, the ones who cannot bear the escalating cost of living, the ones who lost their jobs, the ones who cannot feed their children, the farmers who cannot get fair prices, the sick who cannot afford good medication, the common man and woman who are angry at the rampant corruption even while country is bankrupt and the protection extended to the mega Rajapakse looters. Then you can attend the Belin dialogue, UN dialogue etc.

Will all these dialogues and conferences bring any tangible results? Focus on solving the fundamental corrections that are needed to change course of Sri Lanka and it's people.

This purely to promote himself for an international role after he is booted out in the next election.

Our 2500 year civilisation produces some great leaders who have made our paradise the most prosperous. No doubt RW who is of similar ilk will be able to educate those of lesser civilisations on how to achieve the same level of prosperity we experience
