Former South African President Thabo Mbeki Visits Sri Lanka

A student and former South African President Thabo Mbeki pose for a photo with a hand-drawn portrait of the former president at a school in Galle, Sri Lanka, on June 29, 2025. Former South African President Thabo Mbeki concludes a four-day visit to Sri Lanka from June 26-29, at the invitation of the Capital Maharaja Group (CMG). During his stay, Mbeki meets with President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and serves as Chief Guest at CMG's 45th Convention and Executive of the Year Awards. Recognized globally as a key figure in Africa's democratic transformation, Mbeki also engages with Sri Lankan youth at the ''Circle of Dreams'' forum and participates in a high-profile fireside chat with CMG's Chevaan Daniel, discussing reconciliation and the future. His visit ends in Galle, where he lays the foundation stone for the Thabo Mbeki Library at Ampegama Primary School--a Gammadda initiative aimed at supporting education in rural communities.
