Everyone should move forward as one Sri Lankan nation focusing on the future not the present – President

President Ranil Wickremesinghe during his address at the 125th-anniversary ceremony of the Colombo Young Men’s Buddhist Association (YMBA) at the Bandaranaike International Conference Hall in Colombo on Sunday afternoon (07), emphasized the importance of collective progress as one Sri Lankan nation, with a focus on the future rather than the present.

He also highlighted the need for a program similar to the initiatives undertaken by the late Sir D.B. Jayathilaka, which played a crucial role in establishing a strong foundation in Sri Lanka across social, cultural, religious and educational aspects through citizen participation.
