It was a honour to meet Ven. Galkande Dhammananda Thero at the Walpola Rahula Institute & learn more about Buddhist teachings. I was inspired by his dedication to interfaith dialogue. His work is a powerful reminder of the importance of mutual understanding, respect and harmony.
I was delighted to host the Governor, Dr Nandalal Weerasinghe, & Deputy Governor, Dr C Amarasekara, of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
We had a productive conversation on Sri Lanka鈥檚 economic revival & priorities for sustaining stability & growth.
