Bangladesh and Sri Lanka commenced a joint celebration of the 50 years of diplomatic relations with a hybrid webinar at the Lakshman Kadirgamar Institute in Colombo in the presence (physical and online) of high dignitaries from both nations.
The programme started with the national anthems of both the countries followed by exchange of goodwill messages between Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina and Prime Minister of Sri Lanka Mahinda Rajapaksa. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recalled with gratitude Sri Lanka’s recognition of independent Bangladesh on 4 March in 1972. Both the leaders expressed satisfaction over existing cordial and friendly relations between the two countries, and wished peace and prosperity for the two peoples.
Sri Lankan State Minister of Regional Co-operation Tharaka Balasuriya and Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh Ambassador Masud Bin Momen attended the webinar and shared their thoughts on the occasion.
The main speakers of the webinar were Bangladesh High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Tareq Ariful Islam, Sri Lankan High Commissioner to Bangladesh Prof. Sudharshan Seneviratne, Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) Chairman Ambassador Kazi Imitiaz Hossain, and Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) Research Fellow Dr. Asanka Wijesinghe. The panel was moderated by Lakshman Kadirgamar Institute Executive Director Dr. Dayantha Laksiri Mendis.
