Yesterday (10th), Sri Lankan Ambassador to Japan Akio Izamata and Head of the Political Division Shinichi Murata met with JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva at the JVP’s head office.
The Ambassador expressed his congratulations on the great victory obtained by the National People’s Power as well as his views on the anti-corruption program and the development of its action plan. The Ambassador stated that the anti-corruption programs implemented by the government led by the new President are very satisfactory and that it appears that the country is making progress in the right direction. As they discussed certain challenges and obstacles faced by Japanese investors in Sri Lanka in the past, they agreed to provide the necessary space in the future to facilitate investment in Sri Lanka within the limits of the legal framework.
The Ambassador drew the attention of the Chief Secretary to the interest of Sri Lankan youth in pursuing education and employment opportunities in Japan and the training provided by Japan to them, which in turn will enable them to develop the skills to make a significant contribution to Sri Lanka.
Aside from expressing appreciation for Japan’s long-standing friendship with Sri Lanka, the Chief Secretary expressed his hope that the two countries will continue to enhance cooperation in the pursuit of technical knowledge for Sri Lanka’s development.
