Had the pleasure of having High Commissioner Santosh Jha of India in Sri Lanka in Batticaloa where we discussed many matters pertaining to development in the region.

High Commissioner Santosh Jha interacted with Hon. MPs and leaders from Eastern Province. Discussions focused around development of the region.

Pleasure to see you Andrew Patrick. Thank you for your time and look forward to seeing you in Batticaloa again!

In my 30+ years in politics, I’ve never had a more humble, passionate & down-to-earth colleague than Palitha. He was a real gentleman, unique in his ways and a true man of the people. Shocked at this unexpected loss. My condolences to his family and may his soul Rest in Peace.

May this New Year bring you and your loved ones happiness, prosperity and success. Let us cherish our unity and the bonds that bring us closer.

Happy Sinhala & Tamil New Year to all celebrating!

Eid Mubarak! ✨🌙

Met with Canadian High Commissioner Eric Walsh 🇨🇦 and officials of FCM & FedLocalGov today, where matters of cooperation between local government authorities in our two nations were explored.

The ruling by CIJ_ICJ is a decisive victory in the path to justice for Palestine! Although a ceasefire was not called for, the court can now investigate Israel for its brutal genocide & recognize the right for Palestinians to be protected from it.

Thank you South Africa! 🇿🇦🇵🇸
