Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP) General Secretary Prof. Tissa Witharana today said that an American Naval camp is to be set up in Trincomalee, with the Trincomalee harbor as the focal point.
According to him, a bilateral agreement in this regard has already been signed between Sri Lanka and America.
He said so at a press conference at the party headquarters in Colombo today.
“An American naval camp is being established in Traincomalee and it is a huge threat to the country’s sovereignty” he said.
Addressing media Prof. Witharana said that the development rate has dropped to 3 per cent by now as there is no proper mechanism with the government to implement a productions base economy.
