    Addressing the diverse gathering of Sri Lankans living in Jordan, Ambassador A.L.M Lafeer, elaborated the process of reconciliation and harmony of the government of Sri Lanka and asked to contribute to this process in their individual capacities, citing life of the Lord Jesus Crist as an illustration.
