This week colleagues from the Finance and Public Administration Committee met with MPs from the Parliament of Sri Lanka in the Scottish Parliament.
The purpose of their visit was to understand our committee processes through an inclusion perspective and to study best practices on monitoring the executive on economic, financial and social justice decisions.
Given Sri Lanka’s debt relief process with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and its Government’s role in managing it transparently under parliamentary oversight, it was pivotal that the chairs of relevant committees understand the importance of such processes.
The overall aim was for the delegation to understand and strengthen the synergies between different parliamentary committees, identifying effective strategies to enhance the work of their own committees.
It was a very interesting and constructive engagement which we hope to continue in the months and years ahead.
