Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) National Organiser and Member of Parliament Namal Rajapaksa visited the Nepali Embassy in Colombo on Friday to express his condolences following a recent natural disaster in Nepal. During his visit, Rajapaksa met with Charge d’Affaires Vijay Kumar Raut to convey solidarity with the Nepali people who are confronting significant challenges in the aftermath of the event.

In addition to offering his personal sympathies, Rajapaksa signed a condolence book at the embassy as a gesture of support. The visit took place shortly before Rajapaksa’s arrest later that day.

Details on the nature of the natural disaster affecting Nepal have not been specified in the statement from Rajapaksa’s office. The visit highlighted a moment of diplomatic engagement amid broader political developments occurring in Sri Lanka at the time.
