The Hon. Jeevan Thondaman
Jeevan Thondaman urged cross-party cooperation in response to risks from the global geopolitical and trade environment, including potential inflation and reduced demand for Sri Lankan exports. He proposed establishing an inter-party action committee for parties to meet, discuss issues, and develop solutions for the public.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 No, no. See, the Hon. (Dr.) Kavinda Jayawardhana is very angry that you insulted former President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
¶ 02 Madam, we are all trying to work together. Given the current geopolitical climate—with America in a trade war with China, Mexico and Canada—we risk increased inflation and decreased demand, especially for our exports. To gear up, we must all come together, regardless of one party in majority and 13 in Opposition. We look forward to working with you. My suggestion: create an inter-party action committee to meet, discuss and reach solutions for the people.
¶ 03 Thank you.
