Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong is planning on a visit to Sri Lanka in order to solidify advancing diplomatic ties between the two countries, the President’s Media Division said.
In a letter to President Ranil Wickremesinghe, PM Loong has expressed his dedication in enhancing ties between Sri Lanka and Singapore across political, economic and people-to-people dimensions.
“In extending his well wishes, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong conveyed hopes for President Wickremesinghe’s good health and continued success in steering the nation’s progress. The Singaporean Prime Minister also expressed anticipation and eagerness towards visiting Sri Lanka in near future, further solidifying the commitment to sustaining and advancing diplomatic ties between the two countries,” the PMD said.
Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today he wholly rejects the Batalanda Commission report and that it was appointed wholly with the intention slinging political mud at him.
Leader of the National People’s Party (NPP) and one time Propaganda Secretary of the JVP Wimal Weerawansa accused the Government of bringing back the “Batalanda Commission” for a media spectacle instead of a genuine concern for those who suffered during the 1988-1990 period.
