Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) National Organiser MP Tissa Attanayake said three countries have said they would pledge their support for fuel only if an SJB Government under the leadership of Sajith Premadasa is elected.
He said so in response to the statement made by Minister S.M.Chandrasena asking Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa to reveal the names of three (3) Middle Eastern countries that have already agreed to supply fuel to Sri Lanka for two consecutive years without a pre-payment.
He said at this juncture most countries in Europe and in the Middle Eastern region lost their faith in the Government due to huge loans obtained from various countries and organizations with higher interest while paying unbearable debts these countries are reluctant to extend further financial support to the present Government.
“As we are well aware that the international communities have lost their faith in the Government and it could be clearly seen with the attitude of the European Union towards our country and the GSP + is also in danger,” he said.
He said in addition the Opposition Leader has lots of alliances with foreign countries and they too highly admire his farsighted policies.
