Grace Asirwatham, now Secretary to the State Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will be Sri Lanka’s new ambassador to the European Union (EU) in Brussels.
Last October, she was appointed Secretary to the State Minister and within hours the Ministry issued a media release requesting the media to disregard the appointment. No reasons were given.
Her appointment came as the President, the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister eventually buckled down this week to filling the long vacant post of Ambassador to the United States of America. Current Ambassador to the EU, Rodney Perera, who has previously served as ambassador in Italy and Norway has been named as the new ambassador to the US.
