Just a stupid comment by a senile geriatric fool they call the PM.. I'm sure he did actually say that
This idiot is not taken seriously even in SL.. This if not the stance of the govt of SL nor it's people as the official retractions by the official lines show.. Both China and Vietnam are steadfast friends of SL and have had bilateral relations going on for thousands of years

No, that is only a stupid move that will make fool of yourself.
Why not you quote vietnam news and brag about saying Putin personally back Vietnam in SCS dispute over China? You like to lie, why not make it bigger of yourself as fool.

Exactly. I don't understand why our Viet friends can't appreciate SL's neutrality. Their pushy expectations are putting their ostensible friends in a difficult position.

Sri Lanka neutral on disputes in South China Sea
Sat, May 10, 2014, 11:27 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
May 10, Colombo: Sri Lanka today responded to the comments made in the international media regarding the position of Sri Lanka on the South China Sea dispute.
Issuing a statement the Ministry of External Affairs said today that its attention has been drawn to comments in the international media on Sri Lanka's position regarding the disputed South China Sea.
The Ministry reiterated that the disputes concerning the South China Sea need to be settled bilaterally through negotiations by the concerned parties.
"This has been Sri Lanka's consistent position on the said issue," the Ministry statement said.
However, the Vietnam Prime Minister's office Friday said Sri Lanka supports Vietnam's standpoint on East Sea.
"Sri Lanka supports Viet Nam's stance on demanding China adhere to the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and withdraw its drilling rig HD-981 out of Viet Nam's sovereignty and exclusive economic zone," Vietnam Prime Minister's office said quoting the Sri Lankan Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne, who is currently on a visit to that country.

To be fair.. In all honesty he would have actually state that.. But the 80+ year old senile fool is well known to shoot his own leg.. Sadly this is the caliber of some of the politicians they have.. Now the authorities will have to run around like headless chickens to clarify things..Thats how they run the banana republic of Sri Lanka
Now everybody knows VIetnam is some underhand country who misplace or misuse other countries just to serve its own purpose by misquoting. Shameless country. Nobody will trust them.
Not his fault. Its the evil Vietnam PM who backstab his trust by misquoting his words.

ASEAN calls on China to speed up maritime security talks
NAYPYITAW - Southeast Asian foreign ministers voiced "serious concerns" on Saturday over naval clashes between Vietnam and China as the regional group's top official urged Beijing to step up efforts to advance talks on maritime security.
Foreign ministers and heads of state of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are facing a test of unity at their summit this weekend as some members express alarm over China's growing assertiveness in the disputed South China Sea and push for a strong joint statement.
Tensions ratcheted up in the past week after China positioned a huge oil rig in an area also claimed by Vietnam, with each country accusing the other of ramming its ships in the region close to the disputed Paracel Islands.
ASEAN Secretary General Le Luong Minh, who is Vietnamese, told Reuters the incident added urgency to concluding talks between ASEAN and China on agreeing a code of conduct in the resource-rich sea - a set of maritime rules to ease tensions.
But he pointedly said China's efforts to conclude the talks had fallen short of ASEAN's. Despite holding three rounds of talks since last year, the discussions had yet to focus on "substantive issues," he said.
"We need efforts on both sides," he said in an interview on the sidelines of the summit in Myanmar's capital, Naypyitaw.
"On ASEAN, we have made great efforts. We need efforts on the part of China."
Tensions over the sea, which is claimed in part by four ASEAN members as well as China and Taiwan, have strained the group's unity in recent years, resulting in an embarrassing breakdown of a summit in Cambodia in 2012.
In their statement, ASEAN foreign ministers on Saturday called for "an early conclusion" of the code of conduct and expressed concern about "increased tensions in the area".
At the summit, which ends on Sunday, countries including Vietnam and the Philippines are pushing for a strong statement, while others - mindful of China's economic weight - are reluctant to directly criticise Beijing, diplomats say.
Myanmar, which is chairing ASEAN for the first time this year, signalled a softer approach to China.
Myanmar's government spokesman, Ye Ht, said ASEAN and China have a "very good relationship" and both recognize China's continued growth as a political and economic power should not be marred by conflict with its neighbours.
"China is not only big friends with Myanmar, but China is also the biggest trade partner with most of the ASEAN countries," he told reporters in Naypyitaw. "So China's peaceful rising is very important for the ASEAN region."
Territorial claims
Both Vietnam and staunch US ally the Philippines have insisted the South China Sea be discussed at the summit.
Philippine diplomats told Reuters some member states were opposed to issuing a separate statement on the latest South China Sea dispute or mentioning the tensions in the final communiqué due to be released on Sunday.
China says territorial disputes should be discussed on a bilateral basis. It claims the entire South China Sea, putting it in conflict with Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei. The last four are ASEAN members.
Speaking to reporters in Manila, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III rejected calls from China for bilateral talks to resolve territorial issues and said dialogue will not resolve the issues that are also affecting other regional countries.
Tensions spiked in another part of the South China Sea over the past week when Beijing demanded the Philippines release a Chinese fishing boat and its crew seized on Tuesday off Half Moon Shoal (Hasa-Hasa Shoal) in the Spratly Islands, which both countries claim.

Would they intentionally misquote something that would be diplomatic disaster?? Highly unlikely bro.. Whats more likely is this idiot would have actually stated that
But then again glad that the official stance of SL is now being iterated.. Both Vietnam and China have been steadfast allies against imperialism and seperatism
Indeed its a diplomat disaster. The viet is desperate and will resort to do any underhand method. Vietnamese are cunning and arrogant. Do you think they really care about Sri Lankan friendship?
