The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) will request Russia and China to urge the Sri Lankan government to work out a long lasting political solution to the national question, parliamentarian and party media spokesman Suresh Premachandran said yesterday.

Russia and China supported Sri Lanka in its war against terrorism and as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, had at the time thwarted an attempt to bring a resolution against Sri Lanka.

Mr. Premachnadran said his party had sought meetings in Colombo with the ambassadors of these two countries.

“First, we will meet the Chinese and Russian diplomats based in Colombo. Later, if invited, we are ready to visit these countries. These are the countries that backed the war. In the post war period, there are issues that need to be addressed. We will brief them on all those matters,” he said and added that some months ago two TNA representatives visited China to study its foreign policy.

When asked whether the TNA would meet Indian leaders any time soon, Mr. Premachandra said no such meeting had been planned yet. (Kelum Bandara )

You should quickly talk to all the countries about Tamils political solution- no matter what it takes.
We have already wasted 60years.

TNA IF YOU STILL WANT ELAM PLEASE GO TO TAMIL NADU.

This is another ploy of TNA to seek support for the Panel Report by UNSG's three stooges. I hope Russia and China will not be gullible like the west.

Sorry guys, your efforts will have no significant outcome why bcz this government is totally independent within our country territory. try to influence by foreign forces is probably not a solution.

Labby Tuesday, 24 May 2011 06:28 AM

Why is everyone running behind China and Russia, why can't we Sri Lankans do our own thing ?

Sammy Tuesday, 24 May 2011 06:43 AM

The Chinese would not help you because they will not be able to sell their arms to the Sri Lanka government, if they do.

Honour Tuesday, 24 May 2011 07:36 AM
