The Government firmly believe that the only way to achieve lasting and equitable peace in Sri Lanka is through genuine national reconciliation. The UK engages with all members of the Sri Lankan community who share this goal. We regularly meet with members of the Sinhalese, Muslim and Tamil communities to discuss this and other issues in Sri Lanka.We urge the Sri Lankan Government to take the necessary steps to implement the recommendations of their Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission as soon as possible, which would significantly advance Sri Lanka's recovery from conflict.
