In the name of friendship and solidarity among nations
As the President of the International Federation of Municipalities’ Sport and Tourism (IFMST), I am honored to recognize the grand celebration of the Siyatha Kite Festival 2025, taking place on 13th September 2025 at Galle Face Green, Colombo – Sri Lanka
This festival is not only a symbol of creativity, joy, and cultural unity, but also a valuable opportunity to showcase aerial sports, the art of kite design, and global harmony
The collaboration of the Ravana Aviation Kite Association and the International Air Sports Committee of IFMST ensures that this event will be conducted with the highest international standards in judging, innovation, and performance
Kites soaring above the skies of Colombo will carry messages of peace, hope, and inspiration for future generations. I am confident that this festival will go beyond a sporting competition, serving as a bridge for bringing nations closer together while promoting culture, tourism, and social vitality
I extend my sincere appreciation to all participants, artists, and families who will make this day memorable, and I trust it will remain an unforgettable celebration of beauty, excitement, and friendship
With respect
