Last evening (11), U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka Atul Keshap joined Minister of Post, Postal Services and Muslim Religious Affairs M.H.A. Haleem and Imam Moulavi M.S.M Thasleem for a tour of Colombo’s historic Grand Mosque.

Mosque Secretary M. Thaufeeq introduced the unique history and features of the mosque to Ambassador Keshap, who thanked Sri Lanka’s Muslim leaders for the warm welcome.

“It is a great honor and privilege for me to come here and learn not only about the Grand Mosque, but also to learn about the 1200 years of rich history of Islam in Sri Lanka,” said Ambassador Keshap.
