Lanka never made any claims over Andamans: Bogollagama

Colombo: Refuting reports that Sri Lanka made any claims over India's Andaman Islands, Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama has said the country was only seeking undersea sediment rights near the Islands.

"On November 4, in response to a question that was raised (in the House), I never said that we are going to claim Andaman Islands or any of the Islands belonging to India," Bogollagama told the Sri Lankan Parliament.

He was responding to a query from senior UNP opposition leader Ravi Karunanayake about Sri Lanka's claim for its sea bed rights under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf will decide the Lankan case for extending the outer limit of legal continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles, which will also cover some undersea areas near the Andamans.

"It was categorically stated that our continental shelf lies below those part but in the event there are overlapping areas there is the consultation process which I have reiterated in my statement," he told the House yesterday.

The minister said that five rounds of consultations have been held with India in this regard since the work commenced on Sri Lanka's submission.

Hope this will satisfy

I think Sri Lanka doesn't want Andaman Islands....no, they are just joking around with there new chinese friends at Lanka Port. Sri Lanka can claim the water around there Island. But keep away from Andaman Island.

i think this claim was drafted in china rather at colombo...

anyway , itwill be another issue and another enemy at our doors..

guys, please don jump to conclusions. Sri Lanka claiming Andamans simply can't be possible. No Govt. is foolish enough to make any such claims

Lankans members please respond

Rather than thinking how to avert the next tsunami disaster these morons are asking for trouble. India is being too lenient with is neighbours and they are misusing its leniency.

Thanks buddy, this thread had gone to the dogs. Can't understand the behaviour of some of the Indian posters here; absolutely disgraceful! They don't even understand the subject under discussion which was request for sea bed rights(a legitimate right to claim) from the UN body. Instead they act like hooligans in a new year party posting meaningless nonsense.

Little wonder our neighbours think we are a boorish lot.

The sea beds should be mutually shared between India and Sri-Lanka. Whats the point of harassing the poor fishermen trying to catch a livelihood out of the sea? This will help both countries and build mutual trust.
