Large investor presence, a valuable vote of confidence in Sri Lanka – President at Sri Lanka Expo 2012 You are a strong and valuable vote of confidence in Sri Lanka; an expression of growing trust in the new opportunities for export trade in a country that was famous for international trade from ancient days, President Mahinda Rajapaksa said. Addressing "Sri Lanka Expo 2012”, organized by the Export Development Board (EDB) at the BMICH this morning, the President said the presence of investors here today shows the failure of the efforts of those who still support the agenda of separatist terror that prevented development in Sri Lanka for more than three decades. “You are here today, with a measure of confidence in Sri Lanka that has not been diminished by false propaganda that is currently spread by those who are trying to prevent investment flowing to our country. The large international presence at this event is a clear indication of the growing awareness in the world of the new investment opportunities in Sri Lanka, the President said.

Climate Change - Faltering Negotiations (?) Statement by : Ambassador Dr Palitha Kohona, Permanent Representative of Sri Lankato the UN in New York Pace Law School - Pace University The Durban Conference in December 2011 was another step in the tortured negotiations designed to address the ever growing threat of climate change with its attendant consequences of sea level rise, glacier melt, drying of forests, peat lands and the tundra, unprecedented forest and peat fires, changing weather patterns and unusual climatic phenomena. All of which will have major consequences for human habitats, employment, agriculture, global tourism, food security, and in some cases, the very existence of countries. The threat of climate refugees is beginning to loom large. The overwhelming majority in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has taken the view that human induced causes are responsible for global warming. Without doubt, the consequences of this change will be felt mostly by those who are least capable of responding to them, the poor in the world. |
