After serving as the Sri Lankan Treasury Secretary in the 1970s, he was appointed the country's Ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands from 1978–82, and High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland from 1999–2000. In between, he led the World Institute for Development Economics Research, served as Economic Adviser to the Sri Lankan President and as Deputy Chairman of the Sri Lankan National Development Council. Dr Kumari Jayawardena (B. 1931) is a noted academic and activist, whose book Feminism and Nationalism in the Third World is considered part of the canon of global feminist studies and is taught worldwide.
