Established by His Excellency The President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka under Article 33 of the Constitution to ensure that strategic state owned enterprises are sustainably managed as autonomous, commercially viable enterprises. We are pleased to announce that our Board of Directors have taken a decision to appoint High Priest Dr. Rev. Osamu Hoshino as a honorary Special Envoy of SEMA in Japan in recognition of the service rendered so far. Dr. Hoshino is a close friend of the Govt. of Sri Lanka and had been visiting the country with a view to assist the people of Sri Lanka. Dr. Hoshino holds a Honorary Doctorate from the International Academy of Education, University of San Francisco, USA. He is the Chief Priest of Reikouji temple in Miyazaki-Pref ( 1998 to date) The enterprises that come under SEMA are strategically important as most of them encompass the need of the masses. As such, it is necessary to have SEMA envoys to promote projects, investment ventures, solicit technical know how etc relevant to the enterprises that come under its purview. Dr. Hoshino will function on a voluntary basis and will represent SEMA interests when ever the necessity so arise.
