Explaining the significant developments taking place in Sri Lanka since the restoration of peace in the country, Ambassador Aryasinha, said "as Sri Lanka builds on a new era of peace, stability and equality, where the multicultural, multi-religious and multiethnic dimension that the country is renowned takes primacy, the pivotal role that can be played by religious leaders in this regard had been readily recognized".
