Deputy Leader of the United National Party (UNP) Ravi Karunanayake says the UNP has decided to extend its unconditional support to the government to fight the COVID-19 virus at a time where the virus has dealt a severe blow to countries around the world, both economically and socially.


UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe together with several senior party leaders are scheduled to meet the President and the Prime Minister today. "We have already been a given an appointment to meet them," he added.

The former minister made this statement by releasing a video on social media.

"The UNP firmly believes that we should work together to defeat this calamity. We hope to meet the President and the Prime Minister and express our views on the matter. We've been allotted a time for that," Karunanayake said.
