ACHIEVMENTS OF Mr. J.
R. JAYAWARDANE
In
19…. the then Prime Minister of Sri Lanka Mr. J. R. Jayawardane participated in
the Non Aliened Nations Conference held in Japan.
The
majority of the countries participated in the conference refused to accept Japan as a Commonwealth country. But Mr. J. R.
Jayawardane announced that malice cannot be destroyed by malicious decisions
quoting Lord Buddha’s words “Vairayen Vairaya Nosansinde”. He then requested
all countries to approve the granting of Commonwealth membership to Japan.
The
whole Assembly agreed accordingly and thereafter the Japanese highly respected
Mr. J. R. Jayawardane and Sri Lanka. They have offered so many development schemes
and large scale construction works to Sri Lanka.
