Sri Lanka will host next year’s Express Mail Service (EMS) Asia Pacific Symposium, after plans to host it this year had been cancelled due to the Easter Sunday attacks.
The venue of the this year's event had been shifted to Mongolia, to minimise the possibilities of a low turnout at the event due to the terrorist attacks.
The cabinet of ministers had granted approval to host the event this year, upon a proposal put forward by the Ministry of Posts.
EMS is an international postal Express Mail Service offered by postal operators of more than 180 countries including Sri Lanka.
The United States has told Sri Lanka that the disposition of the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Bushehr and its crew is a matter for Colombo to resolve under its own laws and international obligations, while signalling it is in active talks with Sri Lanka to contain Iran’s threat to US interests.
The government today granted permission for an Iranian warship with 208 on board to enter the country.
