The External Affairs Ministry said that ‘it has not received any formal communique with regard to the US intentions to move a procedural resolution at the forthcoming Geneva sessions against Sri Lanka.”
 

External Affairs Ministry Secretary K. Amunugama told state owned Sunday Observer newspaper that the government “will stand its ground if there is a move for a procedural resolution by the US and its allies at the forthcoming sessions in Geneva next month.
 

He said, "We believe we have achieved a substantial amount of progress within a short period of time." 
 

He said the Sri Lankan team is aware of the challenges posed by countries with different views on Sri Lanka's situation but it was prepared to shoot down any misconceptions with facts and figures.
