Sri Lanka will offer a compromise that will allow recently halted Chinese infrastructure projects to recommence said Sri Lanka’s finance minister Ravi Karunanayake.
Speaking to Reuters on Monday, Mr Karunanayake said, the government was in the process of negotiating a deal that would, if it remains in power after elections, “help bring financial understanding that will bring a win-win situation.”
Sirisena’s government, once coming to power in January, put a temporary halt on most foreign funded infrastructure projects to reevaluate if they were in the island’s best interests.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
