MESSAGE FROM R. DEMET ŞEKERCIOĞLU
AMBASSADOR OF THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY
COLOMBO : I would like to extend my heartfelt wishes to the Government and to the friendly People of Sri Lanka on the occasion of the 73rd Anniversary of the Independence of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka.
I feel deeply honoured to serve as the Ambassador of Turkey to this beautiful island nation deeply rooted in nature, history, heritage and values. Our countries, which established first relations in the 19th century, have steadily built a strong and trustful friendship since the independence of Sri Lanka. Despite the distance separating us, I believe the common values and understanding between our countries will provide us with great opportunity to further expand and deepen our relations in many fields in years to come.
