The Nayaka Theras of the Secretariat of the Amarapura Maha Nikaya were also present at this occasion, where they invoked blessings for the President, the President’s Media Division (PMD) said.

During the discussion, the Chief Prelate emphasized the need to build a strong state, by maximizing the use of the country’s resources. He noted that only then could Sri Lanka rise as an independent nation on the global stage.
