“The admission of Sri Lanka as a Dialogue Partner of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is a significant victory for the pro-active and dynamic foreign policy pursued by the Mahinda Rajapaksa Government. The decision taken by the leaders of the SCO at the end of their two-day Summit yesterday (16 June 2009) in Yekaterinburg, Russia, is an acknowledgment by this important inter-governmental organization of the strategic and important role that Sri Lanka can play in international affairs”. These observations were made by Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama, welcoming the decision of the 6-member grouping comprising China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, to unanimously accede to Sri Lanka’s application to join the SCO as a Dialogue Partner. |

I declare with great pride and dignity that I have hoisted the national flag in a single country unified under a single standard. Before me are our armed forces who astonished the world by their skill in war, discipline, efficiency and valour. It is with great expectation for the future that I address the Sri Lankan nation that is having pleasant dreams of bringing about the dawn of a great and distinguished future.
(In Tamil)
Friends
This is the Motherland of us all.
We should live in this country as the children of one mother, as brothers and sisters.
There can be no differences here. The war fought against the LTTE was not a war fought against the Tamil people.
Our Heroic Troops sacrificed their lives to save the innocent Tamil people from the clutches of the LTTE. We cannot forget the great service rendered by them.
The victory we gained defeating the LTTE, is a victory for our entire land.
It is great victory you obtained.
It is a victory for all who live in our country.
My dear Heroic Troops,
The war against the terrorists is now over.
It is now the time to win over the hearts of the Tamil people.
The Tamil speaking people should be protected.
They should be able to live without fear and mistrust.
That is today the responsibility of us all!
(Tamil ends) |
