Govt. ready to facilitate Dr. Fox’s visit [December 17 2010]

The government said it had made all arrangements to provide the necessary protocol assistance and facilitation to Dr. Liam Fox, British Secretary of State for Defence during his visit to Sri Lanka.

In a statement the Ministry of External Affairs said, 'despite the private nature of the visit, due to the status of the visitor and the important nature of the Oration, the Ministry has made all arrangements.

'These same arrangements will be afforded, in the event of the Foundation rescheduling the Oration by Dr. Fox for a future date', the Ministry added.
