@@lorenpual372 No doubt. But it is a shortsighted view to blame only one party, when the UNP under so called ‘father of the nation’ DS (who hated the estate tamils) disenfranchised tamils of Indian origin, and under JR saw the destruction of the Jaffna library under racialists such as Gamini Dissanayake and destruction of the country under UNP racists such as Cyril Matthew in the 83 riots. Of course, the UNP even turned on the sinhala majority during their actions during the 87-89 insurrection, as did the JVP although they were not fixated on race. Meanwhile, the ITAK and FP under Tamil racial supremacists such as GG Ponnambalam and SJV Chelvanayagam (educated fools) sowed the seeds from 1939 onwards for the coming crisis. To pretend this race based curse prevalent in Sri Lanka to this day is uniquely an SWRD/SLFP problem is to gloss over history, and frankly delusional. All parties including latterly the Muslim ‘representatives’ are to blame for our sorry mess.

Same here. I had a such a wonderful time meeting them few times during the visit and I must say that Mrs. Jayawardena is a gem compare to modern day first ladies. Too bad our country was not fortunate to receive the good or JR. Lets hope and pray that the election that is in 10 days produce a new beginning to our country where we all can live in harmony.
Back then it is only because people were suffering in ques that they voted for UNP otherwise the majority naive people of SL didn't bring UNP to power with understanding and farsightedness. Whenever the economy gets improved by the UNP, they get fooled to nationalism and to talks and ways of their kind and bring the so called socialists. The situation has become worse by now with more and more upperclass people having left the country thus leaving the country under control of the wishes of the naive " baiyyas". This is what happened during the 75 years.

I do not know how many people will understand this. He ridicules the American Democracy. He is stating that if a presidential candidate in US gets 51.3% of the votes should hopefully win. However, this does not always happen look at 2016, Hillary 48.2 and Trump 46.1. He also states the riches of our history, stating that US is of very recent origin compared to his motherland. Citing better than history professors of modern times where that history is recorded. He makes the audience laugh, even Frank Sinatra, 'My Way' and one has to see what a meaningful song that is. Most of all, he said these things not in Colombo at his Presidential House. He said it in the White House when he was hosted by Mr. Reagan. That is the class we can not even dream of now.
Exactly!! This is the real leadership! Most of the so “called leaders” or kings doesn’t have a single ability to address an international community like this for sure! These were the true Sri Lankan. The last chain of this era is Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe but unfortunately people of Sri Lanka can’t understand him.

What a class act by JR. entire speech off the cuff, no readings from prepared notes. His wide knowledge of history, music, politics , and his sense of humour, put the American president in second place. Which other leader of SL can boast of such attainments, and hold his own in the presence of world leaders ? He was so humble despite his greatness. I remember how he visited the ministry office in Ward place, just a few meters away from his home, when he was the minister of higher education while being the president of the country. Sadly though, he did not receive the last respects and a decent farewell he deserved as an ex-president, during the reign of CBK. Does any one have similar footage of his speech he gave in favour of Japan, after japan's atrocities in WW 2 ?

Though mr J.R is a veteran politician .though he accelerated so many projects to bloom the economy his political ideology and constitution has been violating the democatic rights of the nation since 1978. I' ready to prove.
President Jayawardena may not be a successful president for Sri Lanka, But he truly represented Sri Lanka in the global arena like an intellectual, equally matching to great presidents like Raygan and contemporaries.

@@akashamaraweera2560 We know how JRJ ruled this country like a pure evil. But he's communication skills are good than his successors. Current president(Gota) is a person who left his career(Lieutenant colonel in SL Army) and country because of war. Also he's is a ex US citizen, how can we trust him? A man who left his country and a ex US dual citizen. In my point of view he's evilness is equal as JRJ. JRJ: Led country into a 30 years civil war and a communist insurrection(banned all communist parties and burned commies alive). R. Premadasa: He also worked like JRJ being more evil than JRJ. Killed communist leaders(R. Wijeweera and others in 1989). Supplied weapons to terrorists to kill other minor terrorists(EPDP, Telo, PLOT). D. B. Wijethunge: Did nothing than working like a puppet of his pm. In his rule he didn't ruled the country, but pm CBK did. CBK: In her rule terrorists attacked us strongly and did nothing than meeting with peace delegations. Terrorists got more power. MR: Ended war, but with killing civilians, politicians and journalists(both SL and LTTE) secretly. Maithree/Hitan: He's cabinet robbed Central Bank. 4/21 Easter Attack happend during his presidency. Gota/Nande(current prez): Led country into a economic crisis. Sold country to China, USA, India and Japan. Now in my house there is no milk due to the econ crisis.
He was a statesman par excellence. He was a friend of US at that time. Raised and educated in British Ceylon. Folllowed by darkest period of the country .

40 years is completed since that visit and I am still waiting to see another state head of our country Sri Lanka get invited to a state visit to the United States. Even this visit is due to the diplomatic strategies of then Ambassador late Mr. Ernest Corea. Sad say that there is only few Ambassadors of his caliber replaced his as the Ambassador to the United States. I hope I will be able to see another Sri Lankan leader receiving a state visit to the United States during my lifetime.

Been living in Melbourne and going through old archives and found this, blew my mind how politically established JRJ was and how honoured our nation at that time. crazy how things went backwards since!!
කථාවෙ පෞරුෂත්වය කොහොමද දැන් අයට තියේද
I admire how he gave the speech despite of different political stance
Though mr J.R is a veteran politician .though he accelerated so many projects to bloom the economy his political ideology and constitution has been violating the democatic rights of the nation since 1978. I' ready to prove.
President Jayawardena may not be a successful president for Sri Lanka, But he truly represented Sri Lanka in the global arena like an intellectual, equally matching to great presidents like Raygan and contemporaries.
He is a great President man:

Thank you for posting this
Excellent speech by a charismatic leader
Leaders are born not made gone are these characters with such charm and knowledge who could make world leaders look up and acknowledge we were somewhat lucky to have seen such great humanity in our lives in a bygone era may such leaders be seen for the future for the future generations
JRJ is a leader oozing with class and finesse. He sets the bar so high!
Hatsoff mr. President ...you are a legend always ...what a marvelous speech he had done 🌷🌷💚💚

@@akashamaraweera2560 We know how JRJ ruled this country like a pure evil. But he's communication skills are good than his successors.
Current president(Gota) is a person who left his career(Lieutenant colonel in SL Army) and country because of war. Also he's is a ex US citizen, how can we trust him? A man who left his country and a ex US dual citizen. In my point of view he's evilness is equal as JRJ.
JRJ: Led country into a 30 years civil war and a communist insurrection(banned all communist parties and burned commies alive).
R. Premadasa: He also worked like JRJ being more evil than JRJ. Killed communist leaders(R. Wijeweera and others in 1989). Supplied weapons to terrorists to kill other minor terrorists(EPDP, Telo, PLOT).
D. B. Wijethunge: Did nothing than working like a puppet of his pm. In his rule he didn't ruled the country, but pm CBK did.
CBK: In her rule terrorists attacked us strongly and did nothing than meeting with peace delegations. Terrorists got more power.
MR: Ended war, but with killing civilians, politicians and journalists(both SL and LTTE) secretly.
Maithree/Hitan: He's cabinet robbed Central Bank. 4/21 Easter Attack happend during his presidency.
Gota/Nande(current prez): Led country into a economic crisis. Sold country to China, USA, India and Japan.
Now in my house there is no milk due to the econ crisis.

He was a statesman par excellence. He was a friend of US at that time. Raised and educated in British Ceylon. Folllowed by darkest period of the country .

You're absolutely correct.

But speach is great.actually it is marketing.
Superb speech. I have no words to express.

Unbelievable Speech ... they are the great peace makers ....!
Tell you the truth, if it was not for that great late Ambassador Mr. Ernest Corea, there was no state visit from JR either.
අනිවාර්යෙන්
Excellent speech by JR.
You made us proud!
Yet I didn't see any politician who could do it on behalf of the country.
Your knowledge and vision have not been challenged by any politician so far.
40 years is completed since that visit and I am still waiting to see another state head of our country Sri Lanka get invited to a state visit to the United States. Even this visit is due to the diplomatic strategies of then Ambassador late Mr. Ernest Corea. Sad say that there is only few Ambassadors of his caliber replaced his as the Ambassador to the United States. I hope I will be able to see another Sri Lankan leader receiving a state visit to the United States during my lifetime. May God Bless Sri Lanka and the United States of America and its wonderful people.
Such a great leader...

Does anyone know the name of the accent of Sri Lankan President ?
Naturally he had a nasal accent type of sri lankan English.
beautiful speach
A strong and capable political figure like him has not yet emerged in Sri Lanka. #JR
How beautiful speech our well educated president .he is the only one president can addressing any where and in front of any world leader.j r jayawardana
Oh my goodness what i have watched now jr jayawardena your just amazing.
Such a genuine personality 😍
Love you JR 💪
Bro JR wasn't a good president specially regarding the brotherhood and unity of our nation. And the system of an open economy wasn't sustainable for a small country like ours that can't produce shit, we suffer the after effects today.
You are the man sir.
dont know anything about how he ruled but his communication skills are on another level
Vocal variety is at its best in this brilliant speech
JR was a pretty good leader.
Sri Lanka is lucky to have had his services.
wow just wow...!
2 of my favorite presidents
No words to describe former president JR. truely a visionary. Also sadened by the talent pool of the politicians who govern Sri Lanka now.
Everyone finding this after Maithripala's "honest" speech? :X
JR uplifted the living standard of almost all Sri Lankans. A great leader .
Educated people will decorate the stage with their speeches like this. How much beauty will not be born from this leader anymore.
No more highly educated politicians like him will be born in Sri Lanka
Never say Never. Keep Hopes alive. by the way, I was there during that state visit except the time they went to New Mexico. My favorite was "Jayathu" the baby elephant we have given to USA.
Fantastic ❤
How these two Presidents excellent look at the speech .Present Presidents ?
I don’t think any subcontinent presidents at present who could talk with such confident to todays American 🇺🇸 president including Modi
He was highly respected internationally

@@Rose-dh3ec, you are a JR hater, sinhalese mobs attacked innocent tamils, provoked by the killing of 13 soldiers in jaffna by ltte. This is not the first time it happened and JR had nothing to do with those attacks. In our areas, most of the mobs and gangs who attacked innocent tamils comprised of jvpiers and Slfpiers.However i agree with you that he was wrong to have done nothing to stop the killings.
I am not hite JR. He excutive prasitant should handle citivation defarant way. He was wait innocent tamils got hurt.than start reacted. mob Not only involving.polish,army, Also politicians involved If you able to see 80s news Some statement Lot ore against tamils. If you like JR I didn't have a problem. We have to look things humanity Way. This is Not about Tamil or sinhala or you like the person or not. All about right and wrong.
Very great president mr raygan and mr jayawardana both of them Very great 👍 those days violence are very few very happy days
