The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will invite five Sri Lankan young people from northern and eastern part of Sri Lanka from March 2 (Tue) to 10 (Wed) on the Invitation Program of Young People for Promoting Sri Lanka’s Peace Process.
During their stay in Japan, the participants will exchange views with representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Sri Lanka-related NGOs, and will visit Kyoto and Hiroshima.
The participants of this program, who will shoulder the future of northern and eastern Sri Lanka, where stability and development are outstanding issues after an end of the civil conflict, are expected to learn the nation-building process through deepening their understanding on a path of economic development in Japan. This program also intends to promote their understanding on Japan through exchange of views with Japanese counterparts.
This is the fifth of the series, following the past invitation programs in November 2004, February 2006, February 2008 and February 2009.
