Much remains to be done to deliver SL’s commitments: Swire

FCO Secretary Hugo Swire has observed that the UK government recognises that much remains to be done in Sri Lanka and said it will continue to supporting and encouraging Sri Lanka to deliver “fully their commitments”.

The secretary was responding to a question by the chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils (APPG-T), James Berry, who is the MP for Kingston and Surbiton.

Swire said:

“The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights will give his assessment of progress at the next meeting of the UNHRC in Geneva in June. Before then, I myself will visit Geneva to discuss with him how we can encourage and support the Government to deliver fully against their commitments. We recognise that there is still much more to be done, and the UK will continue to support and encourage the Sri Lankan Government to deliver fully against their commitments.”
