Sri Lankan Prime Minister (PM), Ranil Wickremesinghe addressing the parliament, on June 22, called on all parties to come together to recover the country from the catastrophic economic situation, reports Colombo Page. “I call on you to come together as one country and join in the nation’s rebuilding process to see it through these dark times. Let us all embark on this journey together. Only by doing this will we be able to ensure the country’s recovery,” PM, Ranil said. PM cautioning the lawmakers that Sri Lanka is now facing a far more serious situation beyond the mere shortages of fuel, gas, electricity and food, said the economy has faced a complete collapse and the crisis can only be resolved through the reviving economy, first by resolving the foreign reserves issue. “Therefore I call on everyone to step away from traditional politics and to think afresh for the sake of our country. I also invite them to join the parliamentary meetings being held to expedite these necessary economic and political reforms.” The Premier also called on the country’s citizens to contribute to the efforts to rebuild the country from the abyss it has fallen into today.
