COLOMBO: Sri Lanka has canceled Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s planned address to the parliament next week due to his “tight schedule” amid claims that the visit is ill-timed because of rising coronavirus cases across the country.
Khan is due to arrive in the capital Colombo on Feb. 23 for talks with key government officials and party leaders. He was expected to address the legislature the following day.
However, Shan Wijetunge, the parliament’s head of communications, told Arab News on Wednesday that the address has been canceled because of the visiting premier’s demanding schedule.
During his two-day visit, Khan will meet with Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and Foreign Minister Dinesh Gunawardena, as well as attending an investors’ forum on Feb. 24.
