Sri Lankan President, Mahinda Rajapaksa, welcomed and hosted a lunch for Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni, who visited Sri Lanka en route to East Asia.
At today’s meeting, the two heads of state spoke about maintaining the strong ties the two nations over the past few years, which has flourished since Museveni’s first visit to Sri Lanka last year.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
