The government has taken steps to recall Ambassadors and High Commissioners who were appointed on political allegiances.

Addressing the media at the weekly meeting to announce Cabinet decisions, Minister Vijitha Herath said a report is being prepared on the matter.

“Many sons and daughters of MPs have been given diplomatic appointments,” he said. 

However, the minister said that no Sri Lankan diplomat will be recalled immediately.
