Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Qi Zhenhong, met with former President Maithripala Sirisena at his official residence on Hector Kobbekaduwa Mawatha, Colombo, for discussions reportedly centered on the current political situation in the country.
The meeting comes after the Ambassador also held separate discussions with former Presidents Mahinda Rajapaksa and Ranil Wickremesinghe in recent days.
Meanwhile, under the provisions of the Presidents’ Entitlements (Repeal) Bill, official residences allocated to former heads of state must be returned to the government. In this regard, Sirisena has stated that he will hand over his official residence once the relevant documentation is finalized.
