Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we approach the finish line of another year, there is a lot for the Mts ship visitor team in Colombo to look back on with gratitude.<\/p>\n

In addition to the many Seafarers we have welcomed this year, the Mission in Colombo has been honoured to welcome HRH, the Princess Royal, our Global President, the Secretary General of the Worldwide Mission, Ven Dr Peter Rouch, and the Regional Head of the Middle East and South Asia (MESA), Rev. John Attenborough.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
