Diplomatic strain between Sri Lanka and Norway

Sunday, November 19, 2006, 15:21 GMT, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.

Nov 19, Colombo: A diplomatic brawl has erupted between the Sri Lanka and Norwegian governments, Sri Lanka Foreign Ministry sources said.

Diplomatic ties between the two countries have been alternatingly tense and highly cordial since Norway engaged in Sri Lanka's peace process as the facilitator. But several incidents that took place recently have made the situation worse.

In one of the incidents, an angry Tamil Norwegian of Sri Lankan origin seeking a visa to travel in Sri Lanka stormed the Sri Lanka Embassy in Oslo and smashed a photograph of President Mahinda Rajapaksa. The Sri Lankan government has protested to Norway for not dealing firmly with the individual.

Sri Lanka Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera summoned Norwegian Ambassador Hans Brattskar to the Foreign Ministry and demanded strong action against the person.

Sri Lankan mobs on many occasions have burnt the Norwegian flag and effigies of Norwegian leaders and chanted anti-Norway slogans. But the Sri Lankan government has never allowed anybody to enter the Norwegian Embassy premises. City Bank Card,
