During the meeting at the Opposition Leader’s Office in Colombo, Premadasa expressed his gratitude and respect for the support extended by Ambassador Chung to Sri Lanka during the recent period.
“The outstanding service she rendered as Ambassador during her tenure in this country will be remembered with deep appreciation,” he said in a Facebook post.
