Thai Prime Minister, Dr.
Thaksin Shinawatra, is due in Sri Lanka tomorrow on a two-day official
visit. Dr. Shinawatra will call on President Chandrika Kumaratunga; he will
then meet Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe for discussions on bilateral
issues.
This will be the first
visit to Sri Lanka by an elected leader of Thailand. The Thai PM will be
accompanied by a high-level delegation comprising the Ministers of Foreign
Affairs, Commerce and Culture, senior officials and business leaders.
The Thai PM’s visit
coincides with the 250th Anniversary of Shyamopali Nikaya
(Siam Wing). History records a Thai monk Upali Thero, who braved a hazardous
sea voyage from Thailand to Sri Lanka to propagate Buddhism.
