NEW Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has vowed to reopen discussions with the International Monetary Fund and foreign creditors to plot a way out of the country’s worst-ever economic crisis.
“We expect to discuss debt restructuring with the relevant parties and complete the process quickly and obtain the funds,” the left-wing leader said on Wednesday.
