The minister made these comments at a recent function held in Hilton
Hotel, Colombo in connection with the launching of the official website
of the Photo Focus Institution.
The launching of the official website of the Photo Focus Institution,
which has been in the photographic field for over 40 years, was done by
Minister Keheliya Rambukwella.
The minister said that if international forces work against us we
also should oppose them to protect the dignity of the country but
however we should work in close collaboration with the developing
countries and march forward to achieve our development goals.
He pointed out that there was a time when Sri Lankans were ashamed of
calling themselves Sri Lankans and due to the great leadership provided
by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, we can proudly call ourselves Sri
Lankans with great dignity. He said that we must display our talents to
the world that we are a nation that is second to none and that we could
victoriously face any challenge in the world.
The minister wished all success to the "Photo Focus" Institution and
said that all institutions should be equipped with modern technology and
show the talents of Sri Lankans to the whole world.
Director General of the Media Centre for National Security Lakshman
Hulugalle, Lake House Editorial Director Seelaratne Senarath and several
other media personnel attended the function.
