Challenges and opportunities in Sri Lanka today transcend the specific circumstances of the country situation and are highly relevant to the experience of the developing world in general, External Affairs Minister Prof. G. L. Peiris said.
Prof. Peiris made these observations during bilateral meetings with Dr. Marouf Al Bakhit, Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Nasser Judeh, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Jordan.
Minister Peiris provided a detailed briefing on developments in Sri Lanka during these consultations with the Jordanian leaders.
He emphasized the need for vigilance against front organizations being used by terrorist groups to act in their interest. The Minister pointed out that the conferment of legitimacy of these front organizations which assume a variety of forms, operates as a grave impediment to effective action against terrorism on a global scale.
The Jordanian leadership, identified Jordan's relationship with Sri Lanka as "very special" in character and commended the government of Sri Lanka warmly for its achievements in defeating terrorism and putting the country on the path of development and prosperity.
