COLOMBO — The Sri Lankan government called on the international community to usher in a new Palestine before it is too late at the 67th Session of UN General Assembly that ended on Monday.
In the government’s address to the UN community, Sri Lanka urged world
leaders to reinstate Palestinian statehood and help end the struggle of the
Palestinian people.
“It is time for action rather than more desultory discussion,” said Dr
Palitha Kohona Sri Lanka’s Permanent Representative to the UN, referring to the
Palestinian occupation during the seven day conference. “The international
community now has a window of opportunity to usher in an independent and viable
Palestinian State before it is too late.”
Dr Kohona stated that the Sri Lankan government and people remained
“steadfast in supporting the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and a
two-State solution.”
