President Mahinda Rajapaksa should receive the due praise for creating a peaceful environment in Sri Lanka, stated Head of the Korean Buddhist delegation, Chief Incumbent of the Korean Jinguk Chapter, Venerable Joy Jongue Vung during a meeting with the President at Temple trees, yesterday (June 22).
The delegation arrived in Sri Lanka with the aim of strengthening friendship and Buddhist ties between Korea and Sri Lanka.
They noted the need to spread the word of Buddha throughout the world in various languages.
In response, President Rajapaksa stated that the Buddhist clergy have a major responsibility in this regard and that he would create opportunities for them to learn other languages. "There is a huge demand for Buddhist universities. The Government will take necessary action to fulfil this need", he added.
