Contrary to certain media reports
on the purported resignation of Mr. Jayantha Dhanapala
as Secretary General of the Secretariat for Coordinating
the Peace Process (SCOPP), we hereby state that there
is no truth whatsoever in such media reports.
We reiterate that Mr. Dhanapala continues to function
in his capacity as the Secretary General of SCOPP and
as a Senior Advisor to Her Excellency the President of
Sri Lanka.
