Time is ripe for a partnership for progress – Defence Secretary

 
Time is ripe for a partnership for progress and Sri Lanka remains committed to the UN ideals and strongly believes in working with the international community in a post-LTTE era, contrary to the perception among a section of the global community, Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said.

In an interview with the Sunday Island the Defence Secretary said that the eradication of LTTE terrorism at a tremendous cost to the country had given all stakeholders an opportunity to work in unison for one goal.

The Secretary said that a section of the international community was hell bent on punishing Sri Lanka for defeating the LTTE.

He urged the international community to give Sri Lanka breathing space now that the 30-year menace of LTTE terrorism had been finally neutralized.
