AKD should have written to Biden to keep away from being intervened unnecessarily in our internal affairs to destabilize Sri Lanka, the way you had PLOTTED on Gotabaya Rajapaksa to dethrone because of his commitments and relationship toward developing Sri Lanka tied with China. AKD should also ask the US to withdraw its hegemony and conspiracy theory toward Sri Lanka.

The Pearl of Indian Ocean, aren't you aware now has a 42% Elected President. All President Elections held up to date had candidates received over 50% becoming President. Your continuous comments in this paper is falsehood.

DIPLOMATIC RESPONSE. ANURA KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO KEEP FREEDOM OF TRAVEL ON THE OCEANS, SO THAT CARGO OF ALL ESSENTIAL GOODS ETC CAN WE TRANSPORTED SAFELY. AT THE MOMENT CHINA IS TRYING TO CLAIM BOUNDRIES THAT DO NOT BELONG TO THEM EG INDIA AND THE PHILLIPHINES, SO ANURA AND HIS TEAM NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE SINCE CHINA IS IN MALDIVE ISLANDS CLOSE TO HOME.
