Sorry, I am old, but I thought that an embasy was to.1, Look after its workers,who remit hard money. 2. Promote trade?. But You have closed down a few embassies in Europe, where most Sri Lankas go? Perhaps the weather is beter? For your staff? who failed in SL

Nihal G is right. This is preparation for the next vote. Things must be getting hot.

What a waste of money and time to have diplomatic missions in countries that are so small and insignificant that they are of no use as trading partners or of any benefit to Sri Lanka except to garner votes at UNhcr hearings. This foreign minister and his foreign policies are an abject failure as witnesed by his performance in Geneva. Are these new missions to be manned by relatives of the President and Ministers While the essential services in the country are in a mess where the Education,of our children is in trouble, where the cost of living is unbearable,get your priorites straight,

Yes thease are mostly british and Hilary influenced govts.Recnt visit of S. African delegation also mostly adviced via Mandela by Hilary clinton. (she was threr meeting mandela few weeks ago)

Hi- these are attempts to gather votes at the united nations? when human rights violations are questioned and debated. but all these states can be brought therefore cannot trusted? bye-nihalg
