Sri Lanka New Members Programme
21 July 2025 - 25 July 2025
Venue: Colombo, Sri Lanka
CPA UK is partnering with the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) and the Parliament of Sri Lanka to deliver a Post-Election Seminar in Colombo following last year’s UK and Sri Lankan elections.
The Seminar will promote dialogue between UK and Sri Lankan parliamentarians on their roles and responsibilities as members, as well as giving specific focus to budget & financial scrutiny. The visit is also expected to include a series of bilateral meetings with key stakeholders in Sri Lankan politics & civil society, covering the status of UK-Sri Lanka relations, as well as other issues of mutual interest.
The programme is now confirmed to take place from 21-25 July, with travel likely to take place on the weekends either side of these dates. Applications to join the UK delegation are open to members of both houses. The deadline for submissions is 1200 on Monday 16 June. We especially welcome interest from newly elected members.
To express interest or ask for further details on how to apply, please contact Josh Drake at drakejb@parliament.uk.
