President Maithripala Sirisena addressed candidates of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) at a meeting at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium on Friday.
During the course of the speech, he made it a point to mention how he would phone or write to world leaders to get things done. One was a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin that led to Moscow lifting the ban on tea from Sri Lanka.
Then he referred to Pakistan’s prime minister from whom he sought fertilizer. He said he had spoken to Mohamed Shareef. The reference was obviously to the former Prime Minister of that country. Here again it was Nawaz Shariff. The present Prime Minister of Pakistan is Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
