CALD condemns assassination of Sri Lankan Foreign Minister

(August 19, 2005) The Council of Asian Liberals & Democrats (CALD) today released a resolution concerning the assassination of the Sri Lankan Foreign Minister.

In its Resolution No. 4, Series of 2005 CALD expressed its profound condolences to the family of the late Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar and to the people of Sri Lanka; enjoined the international community to denounce in the strongest terms his senseless and brutal murder and its perpetrators; and condemned the use of violence and other acts of terrorism in Sri Lanka and the rest of world.

Minister Kadirgamar was one of the keynote speakers during the CALD Conference on Wealth Creation and Sustainable Development held in Colombo, Sri Lanka two years ago.

CALD also supported the stance of the Liberal Party of Sri Lanka, a CALD member, which states that “the leaders of Sri Lanka should react with wisdom and justice, but also with firmness”.
