Mr. Madanjeet Singh, UNESCO's Goodwill Ambassador and founder of the South Asia Foundation has welcomed President Mahinda Rajapaksa proposal to
establish a common currency for South Asia.   

In a letter to President Rajapaksa, Ambassador Madanjeet Singh has congratulated him for his proposal for a common currency for South Asia made at the recently concluded 14th SAARC Summit held in New Delhi. 

Ambassador Singh's letter states the Governing Council of the South Asia Foundation are happy at this proposal, because at their annual general meeting at UNESCO House, Paris, on 17 March 2006, "they too had recommended a common currency called the 'Sasia', in the hope that, like the Euro, it will become the anchor of economic stability and regional cooperation."
