  • Remarks Made by Hon. Dinesh Gunawardena, Minister of Foreign Relations in Proposing a Toast at the 71St Republic Day of India Event on 26Th January 2020
    Remarks made by Hon. Dinesh Gunawardena, Minister of Foreign Relations in proposing a toast at the 71st Republic Day of India event on 26th January 2020 Your Excellency, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, High Commissioner of India to Sri Lanka Honourable Ministers, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, It gives me great pleasure to represent His Excellency the President, the Government of Sri Lanka and its people on this auspicious occasion of the celebration of the Republic Day of India. Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Sri Lanka and India enjoy longstanding relations spanning into millennia, closely interlinked by history, culture and religion. India is the closest neighbor of Sri Lanka and this close proximity between the two countries had contributed for exchange of civilizational heritage which had nourished each other’s cultures and social values. Both countries are closely linked through the ancient philosophies of Hinduism and Buddhism which remain a strong foundation in our conduct of governance. Sri Lanka had always been accorded a special place in India’s external relations. Beginning from the mythical legends, even as back as in the third century, during the Mauryan Empire, Emperor Asoka had taken personal interest to send his family as religious emissaries to Sri Lanka to share the Buddha’s message of peace. Over time, the interaction between the two countries has manifested in shaping Sri Lanka’s heritage and culture and contributed for the formation of our nation’s identity. In the post colonial period, our nations were shaped by great leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Shri Jawaharlal Nehru and cultural icons in the caliber of Rabindranath Tagore, who together brought an era of regaining the ancient values and wisdom in our region.

    Statement by H.E. Mahinda Rajapaksa President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka During the General Debate of the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (Please check against delivery) Permanent Mission of Sri Lanka to the United Nations 820 Second Avenue, End Floor, New York, NY 10017 * Te!: (2t2) 986-7040 o Fax: (212) 986-t838 Eÿmail: [email protected] Web: www.slmission.com Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I warmly congratulate Your Excellency John William Ashe, on the assumption of the Chair of the 68th Session of the UNGA, and also thank His Excellency Vuk JeremiE, for effective stewardship of the last Session. Mr. President, The UN has consistently ensured cooperation between States, and provided a universal platform for discussions on a range of issues, contentious or otherwise. It is imperative that we jealously protect and abide by, the principle of equal treatment of countries, which has been the very basis of this global organization. Be it economic or political issues, equality must form the bedrock of all international interaction. Reflecting on the work of the UN, matters of a political nature have overridden the most basic issues, which affect the underprivileged and marginalized, who dominate world society. The commitment to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) brought a real sense of optimism. The theme for this session is timely, as progress in MDGs could be evaluated with its deadline fast approaching. Appreciable progress has been made in the MDGs, with the results being uneven among and within countries. According to World Bank projections, by 2015, Sub Saharan Africa and Southern Asia will be home to approximately 40% of the developing world's population, living in extreme poverty.

  • Statement by the Hon. MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA, Governor of the Bank for SRI LANKA
    WBG Governor's Statement No. 14 October 15, 2020 Statement by the Hon. MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA, Governor of the Bank for SRI LANKA Statement by the Hon. Mahinda Rajapaksa, Governor of the Bank for Sri Lanka Mr. Chairman, The year 2020 has been unprecedented. COVID-19 has rapidly spread wreaking havoc in economies all over the world. The health pandemic has ground to a halt the global economy and necessitated the adoption of extreme measures within national borders to contain the crisis. The Sri Lankan economy has also been hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have taken firm action, including aggressive contact tracing, quarantining and lockdown measures, to deal with the crisis. When compared to many countries in the world, Sri Lanka has fared remarkably well in managing the COVID-19 outbreak. While the death rate and the number of infected persons has remained low and community transmission averted to a great extent, isolated outbreaks are being proactively handled to curb any rapid spread of the virus. While, stringent domestic containment measures and negative spillovers from the global economic shutdown have severely affected economic activity, recent indicators show signs of a recovery. World Economy The global economy continues to be in recession as the pandemic spreads with second waves of infection in many countries. While the economic outlook remains uncertain, somewhat improved developments in the second and third quarters point to a less dire contraction for global growth in 2020 than earlier predicted. Governments the world over have taken unparalleled measures to support their economies through macroeconomic policies. While central banks have resorted to accommodative monetary policy and liquidity injections to jumpstart economic activity, massive fiscal responses have catered to the health needs of the pandemic while protecting the vulnerable in terms of both households and firms.
