British Foreign Secretary William Hague said that his country wants Sri Lanka to ‘do better on Human Rights, to investigate alleged abuses and war crimes in the past.

In an interview with Adam Boulton on Sky News yesterday, the Foreign Secretary said: “there were “difficult aspects to the relationship.”

“We want the Government of Sri Lanka to do better on human rights, to investigate alleged abuses and war crimes in the past. So we have a slightly difficult relationship with Sri Lanka in some ways, but we do meet them and talk to them.  I met the Sri Lankan Foreign Minister when he came to London two months ago.”
