The meeting between the IMF team and the Sri Lankan government on Wednesday came two weeks after President Anura Kumara Dissanayake of the National People's Power (NPP) was elected two weeks ago.
The new Sri Lankan government during its first meeting with the International Monetary Fund said it is committed to the global lender's USD 2.9 billion bailout package clinched by the previous Wickremesinghe regime and hoped to renegotiate certain conditions.
On September 23, Dissanayake, the leader of the Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna party's broader front, the NPP, was sworn in as Sri Lanka's ninth president, amid hopes that he will bolster the country's economy and eliminate corruption.
