Ranawaka also posted updates on his YouTube channel from Dubai on the COP28 sessions.

Opposition Leader MP Sajith Premadasa had in September raised concerns over the President?s delegation to the United Nations General Assembly, consisting of several Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Parliamentarians.

Premadasa had questioned why several SLPP MPs, who are not Ministers or officials of the Government, had been included in the Sri Lankan delegation.

Premadasa had questioned why a delegation of MPs had been allowed to travel with the President at a time when the country was still facing an economic crisis.? (Colombo Gazette)
