A meeting between President Ranil Wickremesinghe and Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Chairman, MP Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka, took place on Wednesday (February 07) at the President’s Office in Parliament.
This meeting took place after the President presented the government’s policy statement in Parliament.
The discussion between the two lasted for about one hour.
