The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to advise members of the public that the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Mr Peter Deveaux-Isaacs, received the Copie d’Usage of the High Commissioner-Designate of Sri Lanka, His Excellency Peter Mohan Maithree Peiris, during a virtual meeting on Monday, 19 April 2021.

Matters of mutual interests were discussed, including the need to strengthen the economies of both countries amidst the COVID-19 situation, the global vaccination programme, climate change and engagement in bilateral technical co-operation opportunities in other sectors to be explored in the future, including agriculture, tourism and academic training.

Both parties committed to continuing the deepening of relations all the while awaiting the return of face-to-face encounters.

While the presentation of the Copie d’Usage will allow High Commissioner-Designate Peiris to undertake activities at the functional level, he will present his Letters of Commission formally to the Governor-General at a later date and, thus, take on his full capacity as diplomatic envoy to The Bahamas.
