British Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy arrived in Sri Lanka this morning for a brief but intensive official visit focused on diplomatic ties and global social issues.
Lammy is expected to hold high-level talks with President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the Prime Minister, and the Foreign Minister to discuss bilateral cooperation.
Thereafter, a significant portion of Lammy’s visit will be dedicated to attending the Global Charter on Children’s Care Reform, hosted at the UN office in Colombo.
Following the summit, he is slated to meet with Minister of Women and Child Affairs Saroja Savithri Paulraj, to discuss shared priorities in welfare and protection.
After a final brief visit to the British High Commission in Colombo, the Deputy Prime Minister is expected to conclude his visit and depart the island this evening.
