The time has come to start on a path of religious harmony. Minister Ranatunga made these comments on the occasion of creating the World’s tallest Christmas tree.  The ceremony was organized by the Arjuna Ranatunga Social Welfare Society and was held at the Galle Face Green on August 18.

Mexico holds the World record for creating the World’s tallest Christmas tree which is 295 feet tall.  The aim of the foundation is to break this record by building the largest Christmas tree at Galle Face Green.

When handing over this country to the next generation we should make sure that there are no clashes between any nation.  There should be no religious problems. We have created an environment where religious leaders can sit and talk about their religions.

The Buddhist Forum of Sri Lanka Ports Authority is the main sponsor of this project and the tree will be unveiled on December 24.
