Kamalesh Sharma, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth has defended the decision to go ahead with CHOGM in Sri Lanka, citing the Commonwealth's decision to 'help' and 'make a practical difference'.
Responding to an article by Gideon Rachman in the Financial Times, criticising the Commonwealth for accepting Sri Lanka's hospitality, Sharma said that the Commonwealth is active in "advancing Commonwealth values" in Sri Lanka.
Sharma also described the LLRC as "a homegrown roadmap for achieving a multi-ethnic nation at peace with itself."
