The honest effort made by President Mahinda Rajapaksa to foster world peace is a good example to the world community, said World Buddhist Congress Vice President Most Ven Ming Kuang Thera when the congress delegation led by him visited the Samadhi Buddhist Centre at Kelettewa during a tour of Anuradhapura yesterday.

The delegation visited the centre on the invitation of the director of the centre Ven Rambukewela Pannasiha Thera.

Ven Kuang Thera said the President made a great sacrifice to restore peace in Sri Lanka.

He is interested in bringing peace to the entire world. They were surprised to see the gigantic development programmes initiated and completed by the government.

They would take steps to inform the respective countries and their people about the massive strides made by Sri Lanka under the tenure of the President when they get back home.
