Sri Lanka’s Foreign Ministry plans to establish two more Regional Consular offices in Badulla and Ampara districts before the end of this year, adding to the regional offices already established in Kandy, Trincomalee and Kurunegala districts in the past ten months.
The ministry said that the Programme on Decentralization of Consular Services within the purview of the Foreign Ministry is underway.
Foreign Secretary Admiral Prof. Jayanath Colombage points out that this Programme is being conducted under the instructions and guidance of the Foreign Minister Dinesh Gunawardena, in accordance with the scheme by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to bring public services to the village.
Secretary Colombage also points out that the three Regional Consular offices in Kandy, Trincomalee and Kurunegala districts have been dedicated to public service in the previous ten months under the present Government and that preliminary action has been taken to establish two other Regional offices in Badulla and Ampara districts before the end of this year.
Secretary Colombage further mentioned that the Provincial Councils and Local Government Authorities also provide a huge support for this program.
