Former Sri Lankan Consul General to Toronto in Canada and serving Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN in New York, Bandula Jayasekara has been recalled to Colombo with immediate effect, a senior External Affairs Ministry official said today (July 4).

Prior to taking over as the Counsel General for Sri Lanka in Toronto, Mr. Jayasekera was the editor of The Colombo Post, a weekly English newspaper and prior to that was the Editor in Chief of the Ceylon Daily News.
He has worked in the fields of broadcasting, public relations and the media earlier.
