Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election.
Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.

The NPP government, led by @anuradisanayake, is doing a commendable job mitigating external economic shocks and maintaining affordable fuel prices.
However, a persistent challenge remains
they have yet to effectively communicate these achievements to the populace.
Regular updates must be shared transparently to keep citizens informed. The government cannot afford to let a bankrupt opposition erode public trust and confidence anymore.
Deal with it !!

Great to see the swift response and outstanding work of Sri Lankan law enforcement and airport authorities at @BIA_SriLanka over the weekend. Acting on information shared by U.S. law enforcement, they seized 1.2 kg of cocaine and made an arrest, keeping dangerous drugs off the streets. This is U.S.โSri Lanka cooperation delivering resultsโtimely information sharing, close coordination, and decisive action against transnational drug trafficking. ๐บ๐ธ๐ฑ๐ฐ

We all remember Lasith Malinga for his deadly yorkers, but on this day he produced a batting masterclass!

๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฐ Saudi Arabia will NOT execute the Sri Lankan worker sentenced to death over a Facebook comment.
The kingdom's supreme court threw out 24-year-old Anojan Sivarasa's blasphemy sentence yesterday, after Sri Lanka sent a 4-member legal team to Riyadh to fight for his life.
A young man came within reach of execution over a few words online, and it took a full diplomatic campaign from his government to pull him back.

I welcome the decision by the Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia to set aside the death sentence imposed on Sri Lankan national Anojan Sivarasa.
This brings immense relief to Anojan, his family, and all Sri Lankans who have followed his case with deep concern. It reflects the value of patient diplomacy, respect for the legal processes of a friendly nation, and the tireless work of those who stood by a Sri Lankan citizen abroad.
I express my sincere appreciation to the Government of Saudi Arabia for this outcome. I also thank the many Saudi Arabian and Sri Lankan diplomats, civil servants and legal teams for their dedicated efforts.
My Government will continue to extend all necessary support to Anojan and his family as the remaining legal processes conclude. No Sri Lankan who leaves our shores in search of a livelihood should ever feel that they stand alone.
