The Sri Lankan branch delegate’s entitlement is increased this year with eight delegates, one executive committee member, one CWP member, one branch secretary and one regional secretary given the opportunity to take part in the 58th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference that will be held at the BMICH, Colombo from today to September 15.
External Affairs Minister Prof. G.L.Peiris, addressing three separate groups of British Parliamentarians urged them to visit Sri Lanka and form their own judgments of post-war developments.
“Go wherever you want in the country and see for yourself. We believe that transparency and visibility is the right approach to dispel the falsehoods that are told about the country by those who wish to spread ill-will”, Minister Peiris told them.
