While claiming that all Commonwealth member countries except Canada and India have confirmed the participation of their heads of government at the November CHOGM, Sri Lanka today dismissed as speculation the suggestion that India had made three conditions if it was to ensure the participation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.“I can assure you that all member countries will participate at the CHOGM,” External Affairs Minister G.L. Peiris said.
He said that India and Canada were still uncertain on the level of participation at CHOGM but there was no issue about the representation of the two countries at the summit.
Responding to a journalist, he said President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s itinerary in New York when he attends the UN 67th General Assembly Sessions did not include meetings with either the Canadian or Indian Prime Ministers.
“No inquires on a possible meeting between the two heads of state have yet been sought from either side,” the minister said. (Sandun A. Jayasekera)
