There’s no base in reports that the US government wants a regime change in Sri Lanka while the US wants to maintain long-term relationship with Sri Lanka, the visiting US Assistant Secretary, Robert Blame stated.
Following a meeting with the External Affairs Minister, Prof G.L. Peiris, Mr. Blake speaking at a Media conference in Colombo, added that the US wished to express their support to the government of Sri Lanka in the recovery process following the devastating civil war and said that the US wished to maintain a long term relationship with Sri Lanka.
He further stated today that Velupillai Prabhakaran and Osama Bin Laden were two of the world’s most dangerous terrorist leaders.
When questioned on why the UN wants to take action against the SL army for killing Prabhakaran while the US President Barrack Obama praised US soldiers for the killing of Bin Laden, Blake stated that the US did not want the Sri Lankan military to be brought before the law.
