The Australian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Paul Stephens, hosted a reception to celebrate Australia Day 2025 on 27 January.

Sri Lankan Health and Mass Media Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa, graced the reception as Chief Guest.

Australia Day is an opportunity for Australians to come together and celebrate our modern, multicultural nation, as well as the rich traditions of the First Nations Australians, the world’s oldest living civilisation at more than 65,000 years old.

This year’s Australia Day reception was used to highlight the passion Australians and Sri Lankans share for cricket, as well as significant bilateral events of the past 12 months, such as Australia’s gifting of a KingAir 350 maritime surveillance aircraft to Sri Lanka Air Force.

The event also showcased our longstanding bilateral ties that encompass many sectors including trade and investment, tourism, sport, education, maritime cooperation, culture and food.
