Foreign Secretary says Sri Lanka is better prepared for UNHRC sessions

Foreign Secretary, Admiral (Rtd) Professor Jayanath Colombage is of the view that the Sri Lankan delegation heading for the 49th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council is better prepared.

Addressing a media briefing on the session, Colombage noted that the government has communicated numerous inaccuracies of the Human Rights Chief’s draft report, and expressed hope that they will be taken into account.

Speaking further, the Foreign Secretary stated that Sri Lanka has communicated the inaccuracies of the draft report prepared by the high commissioner to be tabled at the said session.

Colombage expressed disappointment with the draft report asking questions on the internal domestic political nature of an independent country like Sri Lanka.
