We believe our party is the only force to change the path of neo liberal economic system and recover Sri Lanka from its fateful situation experiencing now. Just as Chinese Communist Party lead the people facing the new challenges of the nation, we intend to fight the western challenge of re-colonization by leading the masses of our county.
