PM Lee: CHOGM a way to engage Colombo constructively

Colombo

THE youths in multi-coloured costumes on the long and winding road to the Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa Theatre yesterday were not there to greet Bathiya and Santhush.

Sri Lanka's most famous pop duo, along with the country's other main pop and cultural artistes, were due to perform in the theatre in the morning, but the stars of the show were the 53 leaders attending the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), and the children were there to welcome them to the opening ceremony.
