President praised for inviting foreign investors
by Sarath MALALASEKERA
America currently has a policy of non-tolerance towards terrorism.
Due to recent global developments, America would willingly work with any
country towards peace initiatives. One should also not forget the fact
that it was America which took the first step of proscribing the LTTE,
said Sri Lankan-born Financial Consultant and CEO of Kosalya
International (USA), Kosala G. Tantula.
Tantula, who is domiciled in Washington DC, left our shores London
bound, as an accounting student in the late sixties and then proceeded
to USA in 1975 where he has established the oldest accounting practice
by a Sri Lankan American.
Tantula, who is how on a short visit to Sri Lanka, told the Sunday
Observer that President Mahinda Rajapaksa has done reasonably well under
limited circumstances.
He said if the political and social environment is sound it will not
be that difficult to bring investors for the development of the country.
Tantula emphasized that the recent statement made by President
Mahinda Rajapaksa inviting foreign investors, is a good first step, but
should be followed by positive action.
