🇱🇰 Parliamentary Delegation in UK to Boost Governance & Bilateral Ties 🇬🇧

• A high-level Sri Lankan Parliamentary delegation is undertaking a four-day visit to the United Kingdom to strengthen bilateral relations and share experiences on improving governance through Parliament. • The delegation includes Speaker Dr. Jagath Wickramaratne and several key Ministers, including Health, Justice, and Women & Child Affairs. • The visit, facilitated by the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) and funded by UK International Development, focuses on institutional frameworks that promote transparency, accountability, and effective legislation. • A key area of discussion is Post-Legislative Scrutiny (PLS)—the practice of reviewing laws after they have been passed to assess their effectiveness and ensure intended citizen outcomes, with a focus on anti-corruption. • The delegation will meet UK Parliamentarians, oversight bodies, and ministerial counterparts like Minister for the Indo-Pacific Seema Malhotra MP, to discuss ongoing UK-Sri Lanka cooperation.
