The Queens Royal vist to Sri Lanka 21st-25th October 1981
The Queens Royal vist to Sri Lanka 21st-25th October 1981.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, visited Sri Lanka twice since independence, first in 1953 and then in 1981. The Queens second visit was to attend the celebrations marking 50 years of universal adult franchise in Sri Lanka. The Victoria Dam under the Mahaweli Diversion Programme was ceremoniously opened by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1984. Sri Lankas ties with Britain are multifaceted and cover a wide range of areas. Over a period of time, Britains commercial interests in Sri Lanka have shown a gradual shift from plantations to industry.
