Speaking to the Media, Minister of Foreign Affairs Rohitha Bogollagama  said that government is thoroughly displeased over the statement made by  the Foreign Secretary in the House of Commons stating that he would  address the Forum. “The Global Tamil Forum is an umbrella organization of the most brutal  terrorist organization that was eliminated in Sri Lanka and still remain  in various forms around the world”, he said.  “The provisional transnational government of Tamil Eelam which has been a  part of the agenda of the Global Tamil Forum is a threat to the  sovereignty, territorial integrity of Sri Lanka”, he said.  Meanwhile the British High Commission defended British Foreign Secretary  David Miliband stating that he would re-emphasize that a peaceful,  political solution is the only way to produce a lasting answer to Sri  Lanka's conflict at the Global Tamil Forum to be held today.  ‘‘In his speech to the Global Tamil Forum, the Foreign Secretary, David  Miliband will re-emphasise that a peaceful, political solution is the  only way to produce a lasting answer to Sri Lanka's conflict. It is for  all Sri Lanka’s people to decide what that solution should look like”,  the spokesperson to the High Commission said.  “The UK will engage with all members of the Sri Lankan community who  share this goal, whether overseas or in Sri Lanka. Foreign &  Commonwealth Office officials regularly meet with members of the  Sinhalese, Muslim and Tamil communities in the UK to discuss this and  other developments in Sri Lanka”, the spokesperson stated.<a href="http://www.sundaytimes.lk/cms/articleXYZ100000010.php?id=5280" target="_blank">ST</a></blockquote>
