Following a competitive selection process, 42 young leaders were selected to participate in this year\u2019s programme.\u00a0 <\/span>The programme, provided an opportunity for young people aged 18\u201325 to shadow women Ambassadors, senior diplomats, and leaders of the United Nations, gaining first-hand experience in diplomacy, leadership, and international cooperation.<\/p>\n

As part of the programme, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the Kingdom of Thailand, Wijayanthi Edirisinghe, hosted Ms. Nongnaphat Chaiyathim Falkeid, a first-year student of International Relations at Thammasat University,<\/p>\n

During the two-day programme, Ms. Nongnaphath had the opportunity to gain practical exposure to the work of a diplomatic mission. She was introduced to the functions and responsibilities of the Embassy, familiarized herself with the diplomatic staff, and observed the day-to-day activities involved in diplomatic engagement and representation. She also attended several diplomatic engagements alongside the Ambassador, including a reception hosted at the residence of the Ambassador of Australia and an event organized at the United Nations in Bangkok in connection with International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
