  • Delegation says bringing SL back on track requires joint, inclusive action
The protection of civil and human rights, freedom of expression, and the right to dissent are of utmost importance, a group of ambassadors of the European Union (EU) countries had stressed during a meeting with President Ranil Wickremesinghe on Wednesday (10). At this discussion, the envoys reiterated that the EU will be a partner of Sri Lanka during challenging times and noted that bringing Sri Lanka back on track requires joint and inclusive action now, the EU Delegation to Sri Lanka announced on Twitter. The EU also encouraged President Wickremesinghe to devote special attention to three ongoing key processes; namely, those related to the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the United Nations Human Rights Council. The envoys said the EU is hopeful that concrete steps will be taken by the Sri Lankan Government to make these processes a success.
