Sri Lankan ambassadors to Canada and Saudi rejected

Many in the diplomatic circles are questioning why to objectionable appointments were made for diplomatic postings to  Canada and Saud Arabia without prior background information. Canada has refused to accept retired Air Marshal Sumangala Dias.

 

Saudi Arabia has rejected   P. M Amza. Sri Lanka has named Dias as the new Ambassador to Italy subsequent to the rejection from Canada. The Canadian High Commission has declined to comment on the matter.

 

Although a new envoy had been named for Saudi Arabia, the vacancy in Canada was yet to be discussed at the all-party parliamentary committee.
