Speaking to Palki Sharma Upadhyay on the global leadership series on WION, Ranil Wickremesinghe talked about everything from the COVID-19 pandemic to the dire need of global leadership. On the question of how Sri Lanka is coping with the pandemic, Wickremesinghe acknowledged that the health workers, the military and the police are doing a wonderful job. Second world war or any war, you knew who the enemy was, but here we don’t know who was responsible (for the pandemic). “It is a global pandemic is not a national issue and a global pandemic needs a global response,” he stressed. Sri Lanka has to pay a billion dollars in a few months.
