The Sri Lankan government called on North Korea to “abide by its international obligations” following the launch of long range rocket into space last week.
Sri Lanka “condemned” the launch and called on North Korea to “desist from any action that would adversely impact on the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula”.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
