SL only country to defeat terrorism [January 26 2011]

Sri Lanka would go to the world history as the only country which defeated terrorism in the 21st century, Army Commander Lt. Gen. Jagath Jayasuriya said.

He told the media a short while ago that there were lots of requests from the countries which faced and still facing terrorism to share Sri Lanka’s experience in defeating LTTE.

“ Over 130 participants including defence attaché will be participating in the three-day international seminar on ‘Defeating terrorism – the Sri Lanka experience’”, he said.

The division commanders who played a vital role in the final battle will share their experience at the seminar, which will focus on counter measurers against global terrorism, terrorist trends, predominance of both political and military efforts, rapid resettlement, reconciliation moves, nation-building and threats to national and international security concerns.
