I congratulate @trussliz on being elected the leader of the Conservative Party and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As we strengthen our partnership through the DCTS, I am confident that bilateral & cultural relations between Sri Lanka & the UK will continue to grow. — PolitiTweet.org
Ranil Wickremesinghe @RW_UNP
I thank the visiting IMF team and all officials who were involved in the discussions to achieve this agreement. We look forward to continuing discussions on IMF support for Sri Lanka and a comprehensive economic reform program. https://t.co/JDFC8UlJed — PolitiTweet.org

The road ahead will be difficult but as we continue, we will make progress. It's our commitment that matters now. We must not only fulfil goals set forth but also surpass them. Let us orient ourselves to a new export economy enabling us to sustain our social services without fail — PolitiTweet.org

Sri Lanka is poised to take a historic step forward by reducing a heavy debt burden and emerging from bankruptcy. This new beginning will ensure that we maintain social standards and improve export-oriented industries while taking care of vulnerable groups. — PolitiTweet.org

We have taken the First step towards recovery by reaching a staff-level agreement with the IMF. They have pledged to support an economic recovery plan that will ensure that social-sector spending will not be affected by economic setbacks. — PolitiTweet.org

I was born into a debt-free nation with a solid export economy headed by Mr. D.S. Senanayake. With enough revenue to lend to the UK, which was recovering from an expensive war, we built our first reservoir entirely on our own from the revenues reaped exporting tea and rubber. — PolitiTweet.org

This year we have been able to conduct the Dalada Perahera to pay homage to the Sacred Tooth Relic in accordance with all the associated customs and traditions.

Countries must refrain from provocations which further escalate the current global tensions. Mutual respect and non-interference in the internal affairs of countries are important foundations for peaceful cooperation and non-confrontation. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

7. I call upon all political parties in the country to put aside their differences and come together. I urge everyone to help form an All-Party Government which would allow the country to recover from the economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
Ranil Wickremesinghe @RW_UNP
6. There are elements within society who are attempting to disrupt the peace in the country. Peaceful protesters who had legitimate concerns will be engaged with by the Government and solutions will be found for them. — PolitiTweet.org

5. Assistance will be requested from the UK Government and their intelligence services to conduct an independent investigation into the Easter Sunday attack given the incomplete nature of the enquiries to date. — PolitiTweet.org

4. Negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are nearing conclusion, and discussions with donor countries are also progressing. The 19th Amendment will be re-introduced which would address many of the concerns of the public on the political front. — PolitiTweet.org

3. I have provided relief to the citizens of the country who are struggling with the economic crisis. Loans taken by paddy farmers who have planted fields less than 2 acres have been cancelled. The fuel prices in the country have also been reduced reflecting the world oil prices. — PolitiTweet.org
Ranil Wickremesinghe @RW_UNP
2. I have been honest about the difficulties we would have to face in July to secure and supply fuel. However we have managed to secure diesel stocks which are being distributed while petrol stocks will also be distributed from the 21st of July. — PolitiTweet.org

1. When I took over as Prime Minister on May 13th, the economy had collapsed, with power cuts lasting 5 hours a day. In the 2 months since then, power cuts had been reduced to 3 hours a day, fertilizer has been provided to the farmers and the gas shortage has been solved. — PolitiTweet.org

To ensure the continuation of the Government including the safety of all citizens I accept the best recommendation of the Party Leaders today, to make way for an All-Party Government. To facilitate this I will resign as Prime Minister. — PolitiTweet.org

16. Your struggle must be one for rebuilding and uplifting our country. It should not be to destroy our country. Step by step, let us go forward. For my full speech: https://t.co/GGPKuMKGT3 — PolitiTweet.org

15. The world will only assist us if they sense a strong urge and dedication on our part. We can show them our aspiration as a nation to rebuild our country or we can display our indifference and disinterest, through committing various acts of sabotage. — PolitiTweet.org
Ranil Wickremesinghe @RW_UNP
14. Once we have established a firm economic foundation you can elect 225 suitable representatives to parliament and choose whichever political party to place in power at an election. The responsibility and power to do so lie with you, the citizens of this country. — PolitiTweet.org

13. We are aware the country’s schools education has collapsed as a result of this crisis. The relevant authorities are taking necessary steps to address this, including the formulation of a plan to give priority to school buses and school vans when providing fuel. — PolitiTweet.org
Ranil Wickremesinghe @RW_UNP
12. However, resolving the fuel shortages will take some time as we are experiencing difficulty to secure our monthly fund requirement of USD 550 Million for fuel. Nevertheless, we will take all steps possible to import the maximum fuel stocks possible based on our dollar income. — PolitiTweet.org
