Opposition youth-wing representatives discuss planned political programme with former president

Former president Ranil Wickremesinghe held what was described as a cordial discussion with senior members of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna youth wing on November 13. The meeting brought the former president together with representatives of the youth organisation.

The representatives briefed him on a programme that the youth wing plans to carry out under the leadership of Namal Rajapaksa. The discussion concerned the proposed programme and the work the organisation intends to undertake.

They also exchanged views on how the programme could be put into practice at constituency, district and national levels. These different stages of implementation formed part of the conversation about the youth wing's plans.

Another subject was the contribution that the SLPP and its youth wing could make when opposition parties work together on common issues. The account describes a discussion of possible contributions, rather than announcing a new agreement between the parties.
