Visit Lanka, see the progress, HC tells Brits

Sri Lankan High Commissioner to UK, Dr Chris Nonis called on people in Britain to visit Sri Lanka and make an impartial and objective analysis of contemporary Sri Lanka and the country's progress in the past two years.

Dr Nonis highlighted the comprehensive rehabilitation, reconciliation and reconstruction programmes in conflict - affected areas of the North and East, as well as key developments in the South, which aim to achieve an equitable and inclusive growth, so all communities may reap the dividends of peace.

He was the guest speaker invited to address the Council of the Royal Over-Seas League, London on Sri Lanka in the post-conflict era.

The Royal Over-Seas League, London was founded in 1910 and is committed to supporting international understanding and friendship through its own social, music, arts and welfare activities.
