BY SURESH PERERA
With Admiral (Retd.) Jayanath Colombage appointed Secretary to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ravinatha Aryasinha, who served in the top position earlier, will revert to the Foreign Service, informed sources said.
Aryasinha, the senior-most officer in the Foreign Service, initially served as the Deputy Ambassador in Sri Lanka’s Embassy in Washington DC before moving up the ladder to head the missions in Brussels and Geneva as Ambassador.
Asked whether there’s a diplomatic assignment lined up for him, he replied, “not that I know of. Nothing is being discussed”.
Aryasinha has been acclaimed as one of the finest career diplomats in Sri Lanka’s Foreign Service.
