William Hague on UK Tamils
William Hague, the British Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has said Britain is very conscious of the strong feelings and concerns of Britain s Tamil community with regard to the conflict in Sri Lanka.
A statement from the British Tamil Forum quoted the British MP as saying this in a release he had issued for the annual conference of the Conservative Party in Birmingham on Monday. The conference, titled Fringe Event, was organised by Tamil members of the Conservative Party in conjunction with the British Tamils Forum.
'My colleagues and I are very conscious of the strong feelings and concerns of Britain s Tamil community with regard to the conflict in Sri Lanka and the unfolding humanitarian crises in the northern part of the country. The recent escalation of violence in Sri Lanka is deeply concerning, the MP had said.
William Hague had noted that the only way forward in the conflict was a negotiated settlement that satisfied the concerns and legitimate aspirations of all Sri Lankans and preserved democracy in Sri Lanka.
I wish the Tamil community in Britain every success,' he had concluded, in his statement, according to the British Tamil Forum.
Recently British Minister Lord Malloch Brown had also met the Tamil community in Britain to hear their concerns over the situation in Sri Lanka.
