The strike that was launched by 23 trade unions in Sri Lanka against the proposed Colombo port deal with India was called off on Sunday following a meeting with Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa. A memorandum of understanding was signed between India, Japan and the previous Sirisena government to develop the ECT which is located just next to the $500 million Chinese-run Colombo International Container Terminal.
