region and the international community.
The Bandaranaike Research Hub strives to
collate all information pertaining to Hon.

R. D. Bandaranaike to enable researchers
and students of International Relations to
be able to engage in deeper study and
analysis of their policies, their contribution
and presence on the national and
international spheres.
The irst of its kind in Sri Lanka, the BRH is a
collation of information pertaining to the
two Prime Ministers, including key
newspaper clippings, letters, photographs
and videos as well as bilateral and
multilateral Agreements, Joint Statements
and documents related to their periods as
Prime Ministers. It is available in English,

researchers to assess a wide spectrum of
information.
