The tour in Dubai scheduled for Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa next year has been cancelled due to the ongoing economic crisis, the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff Rohitha Rajapaksa told media.
Prime Minister Rajapaksa was scheduled to visit Dubai as the Chief Guest at the Dubai Expo at the invitation of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Ruler of Dubai. After leaving Dubai on January 02, 2022, the Prime Minister was set to join the exhibition the next day, as January 03, 2022 has been designated as the Day of Sri Lanka at the Dubai Expo.
The Prime Minister, however, has decided to cancel the visit as it would be more important to focus on the problems in the country, according to his Chief of Staff.
