The former Inspector General of Police Mahinda Balasuriya has been nominated as Sri Lanka’s ambassador to Brazil.
The name of Dr. Balasuriya has been submitted for approval by the Parliamentary Committee on High Posts by the Foreign Affairs Ministry.The position fell vacant due to the early return of the previous ambassador A. Sadique, a senior officer of the foreign service, prior to the completion of his term.
Dr. Mahinda Balasuriya resigned from the post of IGP last month.
