Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa has slammed ‘foreign interferences’ for causing ‘chaotic’ situations, whilst at a meeting on the sidelines of the G77 summit in Bolivia.
Rajapaksa was meeting with Namibian Prime Minister Hage Geingob, when he said,
“We must work together to overcome obstacles including unjustified external forces... The situations of the countries which were subjected to foreign interferences are worse today than before. Those countries are more chaotic, and it is the only thing that had happened.”
He went on to state that Sri Lanka had developed and was now at “peace”, adding,“The only ones who are unhappy are the politicians and forces against the country”.
