October 16, Colombo (LNW): The United National Party (UNP) has taken steps to open formal dialogue with the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) by appointing a three-member committee tasked with initiating discussions between the two parties.
The committee is composed of senior UNP figures: Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene, General Secretary Thalatha Atukorale, and President’s Counsel Ronald C. Perera, reflecting the party’s intent to engage at a high level.
In a statement accompanying the announcement, the UNP reaffirmed its longstanding position that all democratic parties must set aside differences and unite in defence of the country’s multi-party system.
