Sri Lanka’s PM to resign on Thursday



COLOMBO: Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe is set to resign from office this week, according to a spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office said.

His resignation will pave the way for the newly-elected President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to name an interim cabinet.
