Sri Lanka's ambassador to Japan, Admiral Wasantha Karannagoda, thanked the government of Japan for abstaining on the UN Human Rights Council's vote last month, calling for an international investigation in Sri Lanka, during a meeting with the Japan's Senior Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, Norio Mitsuya this week.
Stating that "fragments of the LTTE and its supporters domiciled, particularly, in western countries continue to influence the political apparatus of those countries with false propaganda" Admiral Karannagoda asserted that this was impeding the reconciliation process.
