Message from the Standard Chartered Bank
“We at the Standard Chartered Bank consider it our responsibility to be part and parcel of the commitment made towards fostering the arts in Sri Lanka. The Gratiaen Trust is a core part of our pledge to create a flourishing and promising environment for modern writers to express themselves.
“The Trust continues to provide a chance for writers, both known and unknown, to be recognized at this special forum. The commitment that the Gratiaen Trust has made to promoting Sri Lankan writers is admirable – an achievement that Standard Chartered Bank, as sponsors, have decided to support.
“I also take this opportunity to thank the Gratiaen Trust and its distinguished trustees for giving the Standard Chartered Bank an opportunity to be associated with this important event in Sri Lanka’s cultural calendar.”
