Orientation session on Tamils issue

July 03, 2012 12:35 am | Updated 12:35 am IST - COLOMBO:

Sri Lanka, under siege for refusing to take steps towards granting Tamils their political space, and for refusing to look back into Eelam War IV and take action against human rights abuses, has summoned all Heads of its overseas Missions for an orientation session.

The session, slated for July 7, will be held in the Army cantonment, Diyatalawa.

The lectures would include a series of lectures on priorities, the status of the Tamil question, and what Sri Lanka should aim to achieve in the medium- and long-term.

The idea is to get all diplomats on the same page given the fact that

Sri Lanka is seeking new friends for support in multilateral bodies.
