At yesterday&#8217;s meeting with the IMF delegation, President Dissanayake expressed his government&#8217;s intention to provide relief for people while broadly agreeing with the objectives of the IMF programme. President Dissanayake aims to achieve the objectives of the program in partnership with the IMF, seeking alternative approaches that will alleviate the burden on the citizens. A constructive and cordial environment was effectively established between both parties during these discussions. The three-day series of talks concluded successfully today, marking the end of the IMF delegation&#8217;s visit to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
