The Government of Japan under its Human Resource Development Scholarship scheme has provided an opportunity for fifteen promising young public officers to pursue a two year Masters Degree in Japan enabling them to contribute to the development efforts of Sri Lanka after completion of the study programme.
Mr. Kunio Takahashi, Ambassador of Japan hosted 15 scholars to a reception at his residence. The immediate supervisors of the scholars and related officials who were engaged in the selection process also attended the reception.
The Government of Japan gives much emphasis on human resource development and technical cooperation through “people” and provides various study and training opportunities for Sri Lankans, the Embassy of Japan in Colombo said.
The scholars will leave for Japan shortly to pursue their studies at the International University of Japan, the International Christian University and Hiroshima University, and are expected to play leading roles in the public sector of Sri Lanka in the near future.
