Jehan Perera Colombo TelegraphIn his opening campaign speech in Tangalle for the parliamentary elections which are scheduled to take place on November 14, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said he was aware that prior to the elections there were warnings from both national and international entities that the country faced a setback if the government were to change, that there would be shortages of goods, that the dollar would soar and that relations with international agencies would be put into question. But none of these has transpired, and instead the government has been dealing professionally with its international partners.
