President Premadasa has always been a great peacemaker:

> Premadasa and I first met 38 years ago because of our common interest in Singhalese poetry. I had criticised a poet, and the poet got really annoyed. Premadasa thought that the best thing he could do was to bring the two of us together and make us friends.

> His Excellency Ananda Guruge > Ambassador to UNESCO and to France from Sri Lanka
