US embassy cable - 05COLOMBO1594

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: INITIAL SRI LANKAN RESPONSE TO INTERNATIONAL 
PARTNERSHIP ON AVIAN AND PANDEMIC INFLUENZA 
 
REF: SECSTATE 164134 
 
Per reftel, Ambassador raised the implementation of the 
International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza 
with Foreign Secretary Palihakkara during a September 9 
meeting.  Palihakkara said the Foreign Ministry thought such 
a partnership was an excellent idea, but that it had referred 
the matter to the Ministry of Health (MOH) for comment. 
While he did not foresee a problem with Sri Lankan 
participation, he promised to respond when they had MOH 
clearance.  Palihakkara will be traveling to New York the 
evening of September 9, so additional points on this could be 
referred directly to the Sri Lankan delegation in New York.
