Every country trades in goods and services. Not only does trade fuel economic growth and provide jobs, it also raises the living standards of citizens.
However, the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic has had a ripple effect throughout global trade and related activities, forcing governments and international organisations to put their heads together to build back a better future.
After the deep slump brought on by the pandemic in the second quarter, global merchandise trade rose 11.6% in the third quarter of 2020 thanks to eased lockdowns and production resumption in electronics, textiles and automotive parts, according to World Trade Organization (WTO) data.

Kalakeerthi Edwin Ariyadasa, the gentleman journalist, is no more. He has left us with a legacy that is as noble as the life he led.
He was a Buddhist who knew by realization that the greatest man who ever lived was the Supreme Buddha . Ariyadasa edited a book with that title. But also being a good Buddhist, he believed and acted in ways that displayed the thinking that every other religionist had the right to practice his or her own religion and also should be respected as such.

It is arguable that the golden age of public administration in Ceylon/Sri Lanka were the years between 1948 and 1972, probably extending even upto 1989. Before 1948, it was a colonial, bureaucratic administration. Since 1948, Sri Lanka had a Parliamentary democracy. The administrative system during this period was one of collaboration between the administrators and the politicians, each respecting the other’s role.
There was a degree of autonomy for the public service. Most senior administrators of this period worked in English and so did the politicians. The administrators came largely from the University of Ceylon. Moreover, the parliamentarians were genuine representatives of the people, elected directly through a constituency system. The members of Parliament knew their constituents and they in turn knew their parliamentarians. These systems have gradually been eroded.
