A three-day exploration and goodwill visit to the Eastern Province by Senior Buddhist religious leaders, Christian priests and Muslim religious leaders, facilitated by the Zam Zam Foundation, took place from 7-9 April, covering Pottuvil, Kattankudy and Batticaloa.

The programs were coordinated through Sri Lanka Amarapura and Ramanna Nikaya Samagri Sangha Sabhawa and Kattankudy Mosques and Islamic Institutions Federation.

The delegation visited the ‘Muhudu Maha Viharaya’ in Pottuvil while also meeting with representatives of the local Muslim community to listen to positions and concerns of both sides. In Batticaloa, the delegation visited the Zion Church, which was attacked by terrorists on Easter Sunday in 2019, Mamangam Hindu Church and the Kattankudy Mira Masjid, where hundreds were gunned down by the LTTE during the height of the Civil War.

There were several interactive discussions with AlFalah Madrasa staff and the Siddikiya Ladies Arabic College and Kattankudy Federation. Children from the Kattankudy Central College and Kattankudy Balika Vidyalaya felicitated the delegation at their respective schools.
