Colombo Uni. MBA Alumni Association with FT holds forum to discuss NextGen view on future of Sri Lanka

Youth leaders of leading political parties will converge together for the first time to have their say on future of Sri Lanka at a unique forum organised by the Colombo University MBA Alumni Association and the Daily FT.

Ahead of the hotly contested Presidential Elections the forum titled ‘Future of Sri Lanka: View of political NextGen’ on 3 October at 6.30 p.m. at The Kingsbury will feature five young political leaders. They are Eranga Gunasekera from the JVP, Janagan Vinayagamoorthy from DPF, Milinda Rajapaksha from SLPP, Rasika Jayakody from UNP and Raghu Balachandran from TNA. The session will be moderated by Daily FT Editor Nisthar Cassim

Five young leaders will share insights to what they expect from a new leadership from a business perspective and to define the vision they have for the nation. They have widely differing views and are expected to explain to the public what they think is the best and most successful remedy for all the economic and social ills the country faces.

Colombo University Senior Professor H.D. Karunaratne will keynote the forum whilst political activist Jeevani Kariyawasam and MBA Alumni Association President Manohari Abeysekera will speak as well.
