The Core Group consist of Canada, Germany, North Macedonia, Malawi, Montenegro and the UK said that while it recognize and welcome the process made by the government in rebuilding infrastructure, demining, land return and resettling Internally Displaced People (IDPs), it also noted that "it is clear that more needs to be done to address the harmful legacies of war and build a sustainable peace in the country.

"It has been important for the Core Group to work collaboratively and constructively with the Sri Lankan government over the last five years. Consequently, we have engaged with the government in the preparation for the council," the statement said.
