One minute silence please to this lady 🤗

[HijasFarook]

In Sri Lanka we call this kind of answers as,
"Where are you going?"
-"Coconut in the bag"

[MininduEkanayakeSLYSF]

The look on the journalist's face is priceless

[randimasilva]

This lady wanted him to say "we are against China"...
I don't like him personally...but he didn't fall in to her trap...

[AnelEzio]

@4:20 Her interest is dead and thinking, she has wasted time on dasa

[cssuntherrao]

Diplomatic, cautious and evasive answers. This is what a politician is expected to do. No straight answers and accepted as such.

[shanthilanka]

I think this lad is nailing it protecting both his own country and the people themselves..i'm not a fan of him, but I absolutely like his cunning approach on this compelling lady with all due respect to all the countries stating that Sri Lanka ensures no allignments with any countries or parties! Good one..

[nuwanthilina]

Answered accordingly.. good than thought ..., 😁

[wishverperera]

What a speech ! Party’s and politics comes second when Nation comes. Respect Mr.Saith 👌☺️👍

[akalangkadezoysa]

Pity palki for struggling to keep a straight face lol

[onenanda]

May be the caption of this video should be changed from “Straight Talk” to “Circular Talk”. He even warned Palki in the beginning “Thank you for having me”..

[Deva]

A lot of negative comments below. My only criticism is that he could have used simpler words.
Apart from that I have to compliment him for speaking like a statesman and not letting down the country and hurting the feelings of any nation.

whether we are sinking into China's debt trap, this guy answer we are proud people who don't go around the world begin instead a proud nations. Wonder what he thinks we are proud of

[lokeshkumar-robx]

Why politicians never give direct answer🤣

[extremebp]

මේ යකා කියන ඒව අර මාධ්‍යවේදීනියට තේරුනාද මන්දා? කඩ්ඩෙන්ම දුන්න

[bvhdv]

for the ones who wonder why Sri Lanka is under rajapaksha's... this is our opposition

[community]

WION looked for a rat in the mouse trap to find in the end, no rat! Well done Sajith. India: Your enemy does not HAVE to be someone else's enemy. Your wounds are just yours to lick😲! Just enjoy your wound, you don't need a team to do that 😹🌹!!

[ranjithmallawaarachchi]

Dear sir your voice and your power imports the moment.

[asiankidtv]

ranil wickramsignhe is 1000% better this guy should be a literature teacher

[amilawedikkara]

In geopolitics, there should not be black and white! Knowingly or unknowingly he played well!
