The Paris Institute of Higher Studies in Arts (IESA Group) has accomplished a real synthesis and should be recognized for its fusion between intellectual and professional curriculum, said Ambassador Dayan Jayatilleka participating as a special guest at the award ceremony and sponsorship evening of the IESA Group on June 25.

The event included a tea tasting service where different varieties of Sri Lankan tea were presented to the public present on the occasion, states the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Paris.
