November 23, Colombo (LNW): Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa and key members of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) engaged with representatives from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today to discuss Sri Lanka’s economic recovery strategies.
Premadasa emphasized the need to align the IMF agreement, signed under the previous government, with the democratic aspirations of the Sri Lankan people, reflecting the fresh public mandate under the current administration.
The meeting was attended by SJB members Dr. Harsha de Silva, Eran Wickramaratne, Harshana Rajakaruna, S.M. Marikkar, Mujibur Rahuman, and Dr. Kavinda Jayawardena. Senior academics, including Professor Kennedy Gunawardena and Professor Prasanna Perera of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, also contributed insights on economic policy.
