The problems and promises of the Third World, which generally encompasses the developing nations of Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, will be the focus of the program.

Ambassador Kanakaratne, a participant in Third World and international politics for more than 25 years, will offer his perspective on current political and economic issues. His background offers a wealth of experience in representing both his country and the United Nations. He served as a member of the Ceylon delegations to the U.N. from 1957 to 1961 and joined the U.N. secretariat on the personal invitation of the late Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold. In the 1960s he served as a legal and political adviser on a number of U.N. missions in the Congo, the Middle East, Malaysia and Cyprus.

Ambassador Kanakaratne's diplomatic activities also have extended to this hemisphere ~s jeader ~f the Ceylon delegations to international meetings at Lima, Peru, and Georgetown, Guyana. Last August he was a member of the Sri Lanka delegation to the Fifth Conference of the Heads of State of the Governments of Non-Aligned Nations in Colombo. Most recently he was the chairman of the Sri Lanka delegation to the 31st session of the U.N. General Assembly . .

The 53-year-old diplomat received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of Ceylon, then moved on to Cambridge University in England for his bachelor of laws and master of arts degree. He is a "graduate" of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's international seminar at Harvard University.

The dinner, sponsored by the Vice-President's Committee on International Programs and the IUPUI Lectures and Convocations Committee, has stimulated an active exchange of concerns and projects among students and scholars in the Indianapolis area.
