The Role of Sri Lanka’s Liberal Youth, By Chamil Prasad |
|

I was thinking about the role of the Liberal Youth Group in Sri Lanka, as I have to speak about it at a meeting which aims to bring together youth representatives in Sri Lanka who work in the same areas of interest as us. It came to mind that young people in Sri Lanka need to understand the main issues in their society and they should also be able to help in the process of solving them. This is very important and it needs to be addressed. Doing so will make sure that young people are really interested in society’s issues, it would also allow them to participate in the solving process while being able to gain background knowledge of the situation. The Liberal Party of Sri Lanka respects and supports democratic values, human rights, the rule of law and the values of the open economy. It also had to make a decision a few years ago as Sri Lankan politics polarized.
