In the name of Palestine- Sri Lanka Friendship and Cooperation Society (PSLFCS) in the State of Palestine and on behalf of our members, I convey to Your Excellency our gratitude and acknowledgment of your continuous support to our Palestinian cause in general and your complete support to the Palestinian diplomatic effort in upgrading the Palestinian status to non member observer state in the United Nations.

In Palestine we always consider your beautiful country Sri Lanka a solid and permanent friend and supporter in the fulfillment of our dream for complete liberation and freedom.

This makes us wish Your Excellency personally and the people of Sri Lanka in general continuous success in the field of reconciliation, development and better living conditions for your people, who suffered for over thirty years from terror and war.

Your Excellency.

As in the past friends and enemies of Palestinians and Sri Lanka are the same. Therefore our friendship and cooperation will help both parties in achieving the best for our peoples. We are all victims of imperialists, greedy capitalists and Zionists who are using State terrorism as a weapon to prevent our two peoples enjoying real democracy and freedom.

Finally on behalf of the Palestinian- Sri Lankan Friendship and Cooperation Society we thank you personally for your strong support and the firm position towards Palestine. We also take this opportunity to invite you to visit the new State of Palestine in the near future.

Eng. Mahmoud Abdullah
