What's Next for Sri Lanka?

from Events at USIP Hosted by U.S. Institute of Peace

With the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and an economy on the verge of collapse, Sri Lanka faces perhaps its worst crisis since independence in 1948. On July 25, USIP hosted a discussion on what’s next for Sri Lanka — from reforming the constitution to lessen the power of the presidency to finalizing a deal with the International Monetary Fund and Sri Lanka’s creditors to secure relief to the immediate economic crisis. Speakers Amb. Prasad Kariyawasam Former Foreign Secretary and Former Ambassador of Sri Lanka to the United States Bhavani Fonseka Senior Researcher, Centre for Policy Alternatives Akhil Bery Director of South Asia Initiatives, Asia Society Policy Institute Ambika Satkunanathan Former Commissioner of the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka Tamanna Salikuddin, moderator Director, South Asia Programs, U.S. Institute of Peace For more information about this event, please visit: https://www.usip.org/events/whats-next-sri-lanka
