[4][5] Vasantha Senanayake as state minister of foreign affairs developed a close friendship with Lord Naseby of the UK House of Lords and supported vociferously the English Peer's condemnation of the characterization of the war and the Sri Lankan military.

[9] Senanayake then returned his alliance to the United National Party, announcing his resignation from his ministerial portfolio,[10][11][12] but later supported Rajapaksa again.

[13] This turbulence which Senanayake faced in his second term in Parliament moving between the UNP, the party of his ancestors and the Rajapakse camp may be attributed to his dilemma.

Which can be attributed to him of wanting to belong to the ‘Old UNP’ but fiercely attempting to resist and depose its present occupant and leader of four decades Ranil Wickremasinghe.

Senanayake also established strong contacts with many countries and world leaders during his tenure in the foreign ministry.
