The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Ankara participated in the 13th International Orange Blossom Festival held in Adana in April for three days. The Embassy operated a vibrant cultural stall under the theme “Children of the World”, celebrating Sri Lankan heritage with a special focus on children and youth.

Set in the scenic Atatürk Park in Adana, the event drew over 200,000 visitors from across Türkiye and abroad, warmly welcoming over 15,000 visitors. Visitors of all ages, particularly children, were captivated by the vibrant display of Sri Lanka’s traditional art, crafts, and colourful visuals. The stall served as a unique window into Sri Lanka’s rich cultural tapestry, offering an immersive experience of the island nation’s warm hospitality and deep-rooted traditions.

As part of the cultural engagement, Ceylon tea was served to guests, offering a warm and flavourful taste of the island’s world-renowned beverage.

The Embassy’s participation in this globally recognised festival was an opportunity to foster cultural diplomacy, promote people-to-people ties, and showcase Sri Lanka’s unique identity to an international audience.

Embassy of Sri Lanka in Ankara was represented by Embassy Minister Counsellor Nilusha Dilmini, Consular Officer Niranjala Nawarathne and staff member Sampath Prasad with the generous support of Honorary Consul for Sri Lanka in the Mediterranean Region Adana, Besir Uğur.
