Sweden recalls top diplomat in Sri Lanka
Sweden has recalled its top diplomat in Sri Lanka for consultations after Foreign Minister Carl Bildt was refused a visa for a diplomatic visit, Bildt told reporters in Luxembourg yesterday.
Sri Lanka is an ideal place to hold a regional Fulbright Workshop, where Senator Fulbright's vision of reconciliation through educational exchange could be discussed in a land formerly ravaged by conflict and now looking towards reconciliation, according to Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy to Sri Lanka and the Maldives, Valerie Fowler.
