COLOMBO, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Sri Lankan government, on Thursday, said it is not under any pressure from the international community to address concerns related to the war.
Minister Lakshman Kiriella said the international community has accepted the efforts being taken by the Government to address the issues at hand.
He said for three years Sri Lanka was on the agenda of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva and was discussed for over an hour but now only 15 minutes is allocated for the country since improvements have been seen on the human rights issue.
"Sri Lanka was once on the verge of an economic embargo. But now the international community has accepted the path we are taking is the right path," he said.
