Dr. Palitha Kohona — Sri Lanka’s former Permanent Representative to the United Nations, presents a talk on Sri Lanka

<p> Dr. Palitha Kohona — Sri Lanka’s former Permanent Representative to the United Nations, former Head of the UN Treaty Section, and former Ambassador to China — discusses the importance of Sri Lanka to the Chinese Silk Road. Sitting in the middle of the Indian Ocean at the southern tip of India, a meeting point of monsoon winds and swirling ocean currents, Sri Lanka occupies a strategic geographical position. Throughout history, Lanka has attracted a multitude of sailors from friendly and marauding naval powers. Archaeology suggests that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of ships from China visited Lanka, serving as a lucrative hub and central link in trading ventures within the Southern Maritime Silk Route.</p>
