Government invites expatriate Sri Lankan intellectuals
[03 May 2001]

The Government plans to invite expatriate intellectuals to Sri Lanka to share their knowledge. All expenses such as airfare, housing expenses and allowances would be met by the state.

The Minister also said that Sri Lankan expatriate scientists engaged in research and development could get more information at www.most.gov.lk
