Sri Lanka Must Rethink Its Strategy NOW | Ali Sabry | At Hyde Park | Indeewari Amuwatte

In this episode of ‘At Hyde Park’ on Ada Derana, Foreign Minister Ali Sabry (President’s Counsel) joins Indeewari Amuwatte for a powerful and timely conversation on the shifting global order, and what it means for Sri Lanka. As tensions escalate in West Asia involving Iran, Israel, and global superpowers, Sabry warns that international law and multilateral systems are being eroded, leaving smaller nations increasingly vulnerable. He argues that Sri Lanka must urgently rethink its strategic position, moving beyond traditional non-alignment toward a multi-aligned, independent foreign policy, working with all powers while protecting its sovereignty. Key topics discussed: • Is international law still relevant for small states? • Can pre-emptive war become the new global norm? • Sri Lanka’s neutrality, strength or missed opportunity? • Strategic autonomy vs. global power pressures • PTA, national security & politicization of intelligence • Post-war accountability & the need for reconciliation • Economic survival, foreign investment & missed opportunities Sabry also delivers a strong message on governance, warning that policy inconsistency, weak institutions, and lack of investor confidence are holding Sri Lanka back at a critical moment. As global power dynamics shift, this conversation asks a crucial question: Can Sri Lanka adapt fast enough to survive and thrive? President’s Counsel Ali Sabry is a prominent Sri Lankan lawyer and politician who has held key cabinet positions, including Minister of Foreign Affairs (2022–2024), Minister of Finance (April–May 2022), and Minister of Justice (2020–2022).
