High Commission of Sri Lanka in India

Madam President, 
Madam High Commissioner, 
Distinguished Ambassadors, 
Ladies and Gentlemen,

1.  As I address you today, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has published a report on Sri Lanka accompanied by an unprecedented propaganda campaign on that report.

2. Sri Lankan heroic armed forces militarily neutralized the LTTE in 2009 after three-decades of conflict. The Sri Lanka Government acted in self-defense to safeguard the unitary state, sovereignty & territorial integrity from the world’s most ruthless separatist terrorist organization.

3. The LTTE is the only terrorist organization in the world which has killed two world leaders: a serving President of Sri Lanka and a former Prime Minister of India extending its terror beyond the borders of Sri Lanka. 

The island paradise that everyone loves opens to welcome visitors from all over the world on the 21st of January 2021.  Get ready to explore "So Sri Lanka" by trekking up to the misty mountains for breathtaking views, hopping on the back of a jeep for a wild safari ride, savoring mouthwatering local cuisine, and much more... 

Welcome back to Sri Lanka. It's still fun and safe!
