SL rejects reference to Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day by Canadian PM

The Sri Lankan government has unreservedly rejected the reference to a Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day in the statement issued on July 23, 2023 by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.“Canada’s continued reference to a false, distorted narrative of the past conflict in Sri Lanka is aimed solely at achieving local vote-bank electoral gains, and is not conducive to broader goals of communal harmony,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
