The Government's commitment and the determination to fully
implement the recommendations of the All Party Representative
Committee (APRC), towards achieving a durable political
settlement to the current conflict in line with the 13th
Amendment was commended by the Deputy Ambassador for US Embassy
in Colombo James Moor.
Addressing a National Conference on Provincial Councils held at
the BMICH on May 28 the Deputy Ambassador said "Sri Lanka's
minorities need to know that they can have a role in a united
Sri Lanka where they can control many of their own affairs on a
regional basis".
It was the view of the Deputy Ambassador that military action
alone would not address the underlying factors, circumstances
and grievances that gave rise to the conflict.
He stressed the necessity of a parallel political solution to
achieve lasting peace in Sri Lanka.
