  "summary": "Chaminda Kularatne, a Senior Attorney-at-Law and former Chief of Staff and Deputy Secretary-General of the Parliament of Sri Lanka, recently received special recognition from the Mexican Parliament following his participation in the UNAM–IPSA RC08 International Workshop held in Mexico City. Kularatne presented his research on parliamentary democracy and legislative governance in Sri Lanka, which explored executive influence over parliamentary law-making and the need to strengthen parliamentary accountability. The workshop, organized by the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the International Political Science Association, brought together over 100 participants from 36 countries to discuss parliamentary democracy and comparative legislative systems. Kularatne was invited to present his research and engage with both chambers of the Mexican Congress, including a distinguished welcome at the Chamber of Deputies. This significant visit highlights Kularatne's international academic collaboration and professional engagement, further solidifying his recognition in the field.",
