 I am Asanga Begunsekara from Sri Lanka. I am the Executive Director of the Premier National Think Tank, Lakshman Khadigam Institute of International Relations and Strategic Studies. After the Asian Tsunami in 2004, I joined the government sector. I was appointed as the youngest chairman to Fishery Harbour Corporation and then as chairman of Foreign Employment Agency. Ever since the assassination of my father who was a presidential candidate in Sri Lanka, my dream is to build a harmonious society. I think there should be three characteristics. First, adaptive leadership. There should be adaptive. To meet new challenges in a rapidly evolving world, good leaders must be willing to listen to the pulse and change. Second, there should be courageous to take decisions. Leadership is not a popularity contest but to address the grave challenges that confront society and government. Third, there should be inspirational. To be a model and create hope when the situation is bleak, we must aspire not to be just good leaders but great leaders. As a world of interdependence, we are facing many challenges. Unlike in the past generation, we today live in a fast-changing and unpredictable world. Societies are divided by ethnicity, religion, and region. If we learn something from 9-11, it would be the pain of yours, the pain of mine. We are connected. We cannot look at problems individually. Creating a harmonious society through understanding that humanity is above all ethnic and religious divisions is our greatest challenge. The next challenge would be sustainability. We must understand the problems associated with energy, food security, pollution, rising unemployment, human trafficking, and depleting ocean resources. These are human problems and humans have to find solutions.
