March 29, LNW (Colombo): Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has expressed his appreciation to India for its decision to provide fuel assistance to Sri Lanka during a critical period.

In a message shared on X, Premadasa thanked India for its emergency support, highlighting the importance of strong international partnerships in times of crisis.

“We thank India for the emergency fuel support, a reminder that relationships are tested in crisis, not comfort. Let us not forget those who stood by us when it mattered,” he stated.

The gesture from India comes as Sri Lanka continues to navigate economic challenges, with fuel shortages having previously caused significant disruptions across the country. The assistance is seen as a reflection of the longstanding ties between the two nations and their continued cooperation during difficult times.
