The Government of Sri Lanka is deeply appreciative of the recent generous donation of 200 metric tonnes of dates by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the people of Sri Lanka.

As desired by the donor, the dates would be distributed in all twenty five districts of Sri Lanka.

This magnanimous gesture is yet another demonstration of the warm friendship and close relations between Sri Lanka and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
