Colombo (News 1st): Politics Home reported today that British Baron Lord Naseby has said Sri Lanka is not a country that has to be monitored by the Western countries almost every day.

He said now is the time for closure and to let Sri Lanka stand on its own two feet.

“I shall finish by reminding Her Majesty’s Government of the old adage ‘keep your friendships in repair’. We may well need Sri Lanka’s friendship again soon over Brexit,” he said.
