From Geneva bashing to birthday bash
View(s):External Affairs Minister G.L. Peiris briefed Colombo-based diplomats on Sri Lanka’s position vis-à-vis the latest US-sponsored resolution adopted at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva last month.
He asserted at the meeting on Wednesday that the UPFA Government would neither accept nor cooperate with the OHCHR (Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights) in any investigation.
Dr. Peiris did not stop at just the resolution. He was to wax eloquent on Sri Lanka’s victory at the T-20 international cricket tournament in Dhaka last Sunday. All Sri Lankans, he noted, celebrated the victory irrespective of their differences.
The next day (Thursday), Dr. Peiris drove off to Hambantota. He was there to celebrate the 28th birthday of Namal Rajapaksa MP. Young Rajapaksa was born on April 10, 1986.
Dr. Peiris will holiday in the Maldives during the New Year vacation.
