Translated by ChatGPT based on Hiru News Report<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n

The Chairman of the China\u2013Korea Buddhist Association<\/strong> is Venerable Yeong Dam Lim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is a monk with strong international connections, and the Korean government holds him in very high regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To describe how influential he is \u2014 when Namal visited the temple, even the Deputy Speaker of South Korea<\/strong> was brought there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the Korean delegates present extended their best wishes to Namal, and the Korean Buddhist leader offered him a special blessing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I see you as the young Buddhist leader emerging from our region.
I bless you on your journey ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Accepting that blessing with respect, Namal bowed to the Venerable Leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After hearing that Namal had arrived in Korea, several Sri Lankans living there had called him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone who spoke with him had asked, Why did you come without saying anything?\u201d<\/em> but they also told him, No worries.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Namal had explained gently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Please don\u2019t be upset. This wasn\u2019t a planned visit.
I came suddenly, upon the Venerable Leader\u2019s invitation.
I\u2019ll come again another time to meet our people living here.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It was former President Mahinda Rajapaksa<\/strong> who first initiated the process of obtaining South Korean employment quotas<\/strong> for Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1994<\/strong>, as Minister of Labour, Mahinda Rajapaksa<\/strong> held discussions with South Korea to secure this employment quota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa has long maintained a close friendship with the temples and leading monks of South Korea.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
