He is expected to get majority support in parliament also, though he is the lone representative of his party, the United National Party, in parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Wickremesinghe might not head a truly \u201cnational\u201d government composed of all parties inparliament. But he might get the support of enough MPs to have a majority, that is, at least 113 in the House of 225.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">World\u2019s Interest in Stability The countries supporting Wickremesinghe have based their policy on the critical requirement of stability, as the statements put out by their envoys show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Indian High Commission said in its tweet, that \u201cIndia hopes for political stability and looks forward to working with the Government of Sri Lanka formed in accordance with democratic processes pursuant to the swearing-in of Hon\u2019ble Ranil Wickremesinghe as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.\u201d It further said that \u201cIndia\u2019s commitment to the people of Sri Lanka will continue.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In its first reaction to the situation in Sri Lanka after Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned as Prime Minister, India on Tuesday said that it was \u201cfully supportive\u201d of the island nation\u2019s democracy, stability and economic recovery. \u201cIndia will always be guided by the best interests of the people of Sri Lanka expressed through democratic processes,\u201d said External Affairs Ministry spokesperson, Arindam Bagchi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIn keeping with our Neighborhood First policy, India has extended this year alone, support worth over USD 3.5 billion to the people of Sri Lanka for helping them overcome their current difficulties. In addition, the people of India have provided assistance for mitigating the shortages of essential items such as food and medicine,\u201d Bagchi added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Indian High Commissioner, Gopal Baglay, followed this up with a meeting with Wickremesinghe in the latter\u2019s office on Friday. He presented the PM with a bouquet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Discussions with the Indian High Commissioner focused on the measures being taken for economic recovery, while the High Commissioner promised to continue to assist Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Later, asked by newsmen about Sri Lanka\u2019s relations with India, its closest neighbour, Wickremesinghe said: \u201cIt will become much better.\u201d During his previous stints as PM, Wickremesinghe visited India on four occasions \u2013 in October 2016, April 2017, November 2017 and October 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Asked about his agenda as the Prime Minister, Wickremesinghe said: \u201cI have taken on a challenge of uplifting the economy and I must fulfil it.\u201d Setting the economy right by meeting the forex shortage and getting the population essential goods, is his single-point agenda. And for that, political stability in the form of parliament\u2019s support is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Problems in Parliament<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">While Wickremesinghe has strong support from the four most important countries in its foreign relations, he is yet to fathom the level of support in parliament. He has to face parliament on May 17, when the opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) led by Sajith Premadasa, will be bringing in a Motion of No Confidence against his government, and also President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As of now, the ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) is with Wickremesinghe as per the wishes of President Rajapaksa and the rest of the Rajapaksa clan. The 41 MPs from the SLPP and its allies, who had rebelled and are sitting as Independents, are expected to act independently but without the objective of toppling the government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The group\u2019s spokesman, Wimal Weerawansa, stated that it has no intention of sabotaging the administration. It will not indulge in \u201chate politics\u201d and will not allow the country to become \u201canarchic\u201d, he said. The Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) leader Udaya Gammanpila stated that as long as PM Ranil Wickremesinghe works to \u201crescue the country from the abyss\u201d the Independents would extend support while remaining in the opposition. \u201cThis country needs a government. We will not make any attempt to topple it,\u201d the former Energy minister said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), a former ally of the SLPP, has decided not to accept any portfolios or be part of a government under Prime Minister Wickremesinghe. It will decide on its stand vis-s-vis the SJB\u2019s No Confidence Motion later on Friday after internal consultations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) and the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) are antigovernment and are likely to vote for the No-Confidence Motion But they are small parties. The JVP has only three MPs and the TNA 10.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Japanese envoy MIZUKOSHI Hideaki also pledged their continued support towards the stabilisation of Sri Lanka\u2019s economy..<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Both envoys discussed the measures being taken to gather support from other foreign nations to help Sri Lanka\u2019s economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Prime Minister Wickremesinghe discussed the upcoming visit of the U.S. treasury team with the U.S. Ambassador. The meeting also broached the subject of the 19th Amendment and the strengthening of the oversight committees in Parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Chinese Ambassador, when meeting Prime Minister Wickremesinghe, expressed his country\u2019s willingness to continue to support Sri Lanka while also pledging to review existing assistance provided to the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Prime Minister also spoke to the British High Commissioner Sarah Hulton prior to her departure to the U.K. She was scheduled to brief the British Government on the situation in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Leave aside party politics and let\u2019s join hands to resolve burning issues &#8211; RW writes to Sajith In a letter to the Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, the Prime Minister invited the SJB to support the joint effort made by them to immediately resolve the burning issues faced by the people and also to stabilize the country economically, and politically and socially by obtaining foreign assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Prime Minister has also sought the Opposition Leader&#8217;s positive and swift response as the future of the country was facing a serious situation day by day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Resident Representative of the United Nations in Sri Lanka, Hanaa Singer-Hamdy states that the United Nations hopes for greater political stability in the coming weeks as the new Government commences work.
