A high-level delegation led by President Rajapaksa will attend the summit. Rajapaksa is scheduled to meet Iranian President Ahmadinejad on the sidelines of the meeting to discuss strengthening of ties between the two countries.
While Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is scheduled to attend the summit, Venezuelan envoy to Tehran in an interview with FNA announced that President Hugo Chavez also plans to take part in the conference.
President Ahmadinejad has invited Syrian President Bashar a-Assad to attend the summit as a special guest.

Iran, Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Venezuela and Zimbabwe are members of the Group.

We had G-7 which became G-8, and then G-20. G-15 is another entity. India is the only country in evrything. They have no idea where they really belong.

Well said Nimal. Very appropriate when one reads through the list of participating countries. Hope G-15 will give us GSP+ too.

Congratulations Mr. President!

Outcasts? India and Brazil are in the top 10 economies by GDP in the world. Mexico, Iran and Indonesia are in the top 20.

What are out comes to the world by holding such meetings and postings, is heading for peace or heading for something else??? Sri Lanka has lots to do in terms of the country development and politicians to spend time to plan toward development of the country like Singapore who is not much involved in world politics. This is the time for Sri Lanka to think about country development and eradicating corruption especially, at the time the war against terrorist is over.
