Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland has expressed her revulsion at the appalling news of the horrendous and mindless coordinated set of terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka.
Secretary-General
Scotland said: “On behalf of the Commonwealth family of 53 nations
I wish to convey my deepest condolences to the families of the
victims, the Government and the people of Sri Lanka. The quick
response from the Government, police, military and other essential
services should be commended and I call on Commonwealth
countries to offer all possible assistance to aid recovery efforts
and investigations into the perpetrators behind these heinous
attacks.
"The
Commonwealth, through our Charter, our work on countering violent
extremism, and other initiatives such as Faith in the Commonwealth
and Peace at the Crease, is working assiduously to promote peace and
harmony. Terror attacks such as these will not deter us but will make
our family of nations even more determined to work together for
greater peace and understanding.
“On
behalf of the Commonwealth family, I reaffirm our solidarity and
support to the Government and people of Sri Lanka during this
terrible time."
