Sri Lankan diaspora

The Sri Lankan diaspora refers to people of Sri Lankan origin who live outside their home country, often due to factors like economic opportunities, education, or escaping conflict. They have settled in various parts of the world such as the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Australia. This global community maintains cultural ties, practices traditions, and often supports families back in Sri Lanka. The diaspora plays an important role in sending remittances, fostering cultural connections, and contributing to Sri Lanka's development through investments and skills transfer.
