US Ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung says the state of emergency will not help resolve the crisis in Sri Lanka.
Chung made this statement in a Twitter message today (07)
She said she was concerned about the state of emergency re-imposed by the President yesterday and added that the government should listen to the voices of peaceful citizens.
“And the very real challenges Sri Lankans are facing require long term solutions to set the country back on a path toward prosperity and opportunity for all. The SOE won’t help do that,” the tweet mentioned.
Concerned by another State of Emergency. The voices of peaceful citizens need to be heard. And the very real challenges Sri Lankans are facing require long term solutions to set the country back on a path toward prosperity and opportunity for all. The SOE won’t help do that.
