President Rajapaksa said this during a meeting with the representatives of 23 Colombo Port’s trade unions, at the Presidential Secretariat on Wednesday (13).
He said the previous ‘good governance’ regime had agreed to sell the ECT to India. He revealed that according to that agreement, Sri Lanka was also to take a loan from Japan to procure the equipment required to operate the terminal.
President Rajapaksa said his government re-negotiated the deal with India and a new agreement was reached to retain 51 percent of the ownership of the ECT with Sri Lanka and allow the SLPA to carry out the terminal’s operations.
