The Sri Lankan Speaker also stressed the importance of holding a party leaders' meeting next week.Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa stressed that the final decision should be made by the party leaders, and also questioned the plan to hold a weekend session, according to the Sri Lankan publication, Dailymirror.During his recent visit to the United Kingdom (UK), Sri Lanka President Ranil Wickremesinghe promised that the island nation will finish its debt restructuring by September of this year.Since Sri Lanka gained independence in 1948, there has never been a crisis of this magnitude as it is going through right now.The crisis was brought on by years of poor financial management by succeeding Sri Lankan governments and the Gotabaya Rajapaksa regime's choice to forego addressing the IMF to prevent the country from amassing debts.Several protests took place against the government when the financial crisis had a negative influence on food security, availability of gasoline, and the price of cooking gas.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
