The government condoles with the Government and people of Norway and the families of the victims of the dastardly bombing and shooting incidents that took place in the centre of Oslo and at the youth camp near Oslo on Friday,
Sri Lanka stands with the people of Norway and offers its deepest sympathies said Neomal Perera , the Acting Minister of External Affairs on behalf of the government.
He stated that it is sad to see the Norwegian people experiencing this kind of terrorism, as Norway has a low crime rate and the Norwegians being a peace loving nation as much as Sri Lanka, and adds that our hearts go out to the Norwegian people, in this moment of sorrow.
Acting Minister Perera added that there is no other country which would better understand the pain and the suffering of the Norwegian people at this devastating time, than Sri Lanka, as Sri Lanka too had suffered the same pain and sorrow so profoundly during the last 3 decades at the hands of the most brutal terrorism outfit in the world.
He reminds the entire international community, that they have a moral responsibility and an undeniable stake to unitedly work towards curbing terrorism which is a menace, destroying valuable lives and especially hindering development in developing countries.
We remain ready to support the Norwegian government by urging all nations to help Norway at this time of need and help it bring the perpetrators of this violence to justice.
Our prayers are with those affected by this tragedy, the Acting External Affairs Minister said.
