I wish to convey my deepest condolences and sympathy to whose family members were victims of the terrorist attack  in Tunisia .

 

This brutal attack not only must be condemned  but all concerned countries should once again rise against the spread of terrorism and take all steps necessary to eliminate the scourge of Terrorism from all countries.

 

We having dealt with terrorism in Sri Lanka, as one who battle it out internationally , I would always stress the need to launch a universal action programme that could meet the threat  of terrorism in all its manifestations. 

 

Sri Lanka , stands well in sharing her own experiences with the Countries that have become victims of these  heinous crimes.

 

It's time that we rise across the World united, in this regard.
