A planned meeting next month of Sri Lanka envoys serving in overseas diplomatic missions has been cancelled.
A circular informing the envoys that the meeting has been put off was the last official document signed by outgoing Foreign Secretary Esala Weerakoon.
He has since been succeeded by Prasad Kariyawasam, former Sri Lanka Ambassador to the United States.
The meeting of envoys was proposed by the then Foreign Minister Ravi Karunanayake.
Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is due to vacate his official residence at Wijerama Mawatha, Colombo this morning, a Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) source said.
The Presidents’ Entitlements (Repeal) Bill was passed by a majority of 150 in parliament today. However the opposition MP’s were absent during the voting.
