62nd Independence Day Message of Hon Minister of Foreign Affairs |
|
|
|
|
Rising from the shackles of colonialism 62 years ago and annihilating an almost three decade long grip of terrorism from our shores eight months ago, we celebrate this anniversary of Independence in 2010, with a great sense of oneness and pride. Nearly half of our country’s contemporary independent history has witnessed a struggle against the brutal forces of terrorism which sought to tear asunder the very sovereignty of our great nation gained by our forefathers.

 Excellencies
Diplomatic Corps
Ladies and Gentlemen,
You may recollect that the last briefing to the Diplomatic Corps took place approximately one week before the elections in the Eastern Province which were held on 10th May, 2008.
Today, two weeks after the results of the elections in the Eastern Province were released, I wish to take this opportunity to reflect on the dynamics as well as the efficacious manner in which the elections were conducted, thus embracing the fundamentals of democracy and pluralism.
