China and Pakistan today at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sessions in Geneva insisted that Sri Lanka should be allowed to carry out its reconciliation process without pressure from external sources.

Chinese Ambassador LIU Zhenmin said his government appreciated the efforts taken by the Sri Lankan Government to advance the national reconciliation process.

“We are of the view that more time and space should be given to Sri Lanka to bring the process to a conclusion, free from outside pressure. International assistance should only be given with Sri Lanka’s agreement,” he said.

Meanwhile, Pakistan also emphasized the need to give Sri Lanka time and space to continue with its genuine reconciliation mechanism worked out domestically. Pakistan also highlighted that Sri Lanka had continued to demonstrate its commitment to reconciliation.

So far, countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Thailand and Indonesia have made positive remarks on the reconciliation process in Sri Lanka.(KelumBandara in Geneva)

    Time they say is the healer but on our National issue which has been dragging on for more than half a century it has only got worse.

    to further strengthen the suppression & oppression ?

    Even with more time given, it will still be a game. Commissions after Commissions. Statements after Statements. In the end NOTHING will happen. Even the LLRC is just a exercise to hoodwink the international community. They are aware and have been patient.
    Even after 3 years no progress. No clear direction except the direction to hoodwink. Another 10 years given will also mean no progress. It is time to call the bluff.
    China is not really a nation with excellent human rights . Has scant regard for the rights of it's own minorities.

    TIme to move forward. International Mechanism is required for the good of the country. PERIOD !!!!

    ratnasiri Saturday, 03 March 2012 04:29 AM

    it took thirty years to defeat terrorism in sri lanka, needs time and space to gradually implement the recommendations of LLRC. needed to be patient until a mechanism is put in place.

    cxcb Saturday, 03 March 2012 02:43 AM

    stupid logic !!

    Aku Aku Saturday, 03 March 2012 02:10 AM

    While SL should not be belittled, hounded and castigated, sometimes it needs a little push(Pressure?) or it will take it easy and forget about its responsibility as we have seen in the past two years. The govt's top priority is the development of the North and its citizens and not 'white elephants' in the South!

    Botswana is a city in South Africa. They not two different countries.

    Gamini Udagepola Friday, 02 March 2012 06:38 PM

    China is a powerful voice and so called powerful nations must give due respect to China's opinion. Pakistan is a Good neighbor of SL.

    Rahu Friday, 02 March 2012 06:25 PM

    If USA put the sensation against Pakistan..., the first would be given by SL support to US. Same SL did for Iran
