The Sri Lanka-Pakistan Friendship Association said it appeals to all “friendly and grateful” Sri Lankans, the public sector, the corporate sector and other well wishers to join them in showing solidarity, friendship and gratitude to a country and its people who have always stood by Sri Lanka in its times of crisis and helped Sri Lanka in so many ways.
