SUMMARY:"Lanka - The Crucial Hub of the Ancient Maritime Silk Road" with Dr. Palitha T.B. Kohona
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Palitha Kohona — Sri Lanka’s former Permanent Representative to the United Nations\, former Head of the UN Treaty Section\, and former Ambassador to China — discusses the importance of Sri Lanka to the Chinese Silk Road. Sitting in the middle of the Indian Ocean at the southern tip of India\, meeting point of monsoon winds and swirling ocean currents\, Sri Lanka occupies a strategic geographical position. Throughout history\, Lanka has attracted a multitude of sailors from friendly and marauding navel powers\, merchants seeking its exotic products or exchanging them for wares from distant lands\, Buddhist monks searching for the sublime Dhamma\, invading empire builders who vainly attempted to conquer the island.  Archaeology suggests that hundreds\, perhaps thousands\, of ships from China visited Lanka\, serving as a lucrative hub and central link in trading ventures within the Southern Maritime Silk Route. \nRegister for the online stream here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1749161622499?aff=oddtdtcreator
