[It is this notion that we have failed to dispel over the years and which will continue to dog us unless professionally tackled. This needs specific skills which may not be in the domain of the average diplomat.
This is where the Government should try to engage those with a proven track record and those who would be able to mount a sustained campaign against the LTTE.] like Jayan jayatilaka:) [They need not be career diplomats as proved by the master stroke dealt recently by our envoy in Italy in getting some hard core LTTEers operating in that country arrested. It is such proactive measures that are called for.] they were later released as there is no sufficient evidence.:) [We are certain that the Ambassador designate to the US with his impeccable credentials would be able to set the record straight on the position of the Government vis-a-vis the LTTE as distinct from the ordinary peace loving Tamils.] tamil need devolution of power and not this BS propaganda.:) [His call for a better effort on the part of our overseas envoys to promote Sri Lanka in the fields of trade, commerce and tourism too should be paid heed to. In this regard it would be ideal that professionals or career diplomats be posted to important world capitals who would possess the talent and acumen to secure the best terms for the country. More often than not we see misfits occupying these positions that brings no dividends to the country. A classic example is a member of a former first family who was posted to a Western capital. The man was found lying on a billiards table in a highly inebriated state following an embassy cocktail. Such conduct certainly would not bring any credit to the country. What is needed is a radical change in our diplomatic structure to cater to the new challenges in the international order. These should be incorporated in the various courses for students in the foreign service. The Government should also consider employing good foreign PR firms to promote Sri Lanka in spheres of trade, tourism etc in addition to efforts of our diplomats. The results could prove cost beneficial on the long term] probably have a training school how to cook lies and use effectively for propaganda purpose. Appoint some one to study how gobel did and follow his foot steps. huh:) |
