Nearly 15,000 people from varied walks of life have visited the “Peace in Sri Lanka” Website that was launched by Prime Minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe last week at the Galle Face Hotel. This is the official Website of the Prime Minister’s Office, Secretariat for Co-ordinatng the Peace Process (SCOPP). The Website provides updates on the latest developments in the peace process and includes the background and history of the peace process. In the current context, with the peace talks in progress, the website is updated continuously with information on the latest developments. The overwhelming response to the Peace Process Website is a clear manifestation of the keen interest and support towards the peace process of not only people in Sri Lanka, but also of other individuals and groups from all over the world. Visitors to the Website have been flocking from all parts of the globe and include many Sri Lankans who are domiciled overseas. An unprecedented number of visitors have sent in their comments, views and suggestions on the Website. Some of these have been published in the Website under the section “Your Views”. The Communications Unit of SCOPP notes views that have been put on line as well as those that have not. Some of the views sent by visitors to the Website are directed to relevant authorities and officials as appropriate. Another special feature of the Peace Website is a section called “People for Peace”. This section focuses attention on activities and efforts, geared towards peace building and peace awareness by individuals, Non Governmental Organisations and other groups. “People for Peace” is a digital community board where information in this context is posted. The Communications Unit of SCOPP welcomes details of such efforts. Write- ups and photographs in this context can be published on line in the “People for Peace” section of the Peace in Sri Lanka Website. Those who would like to send information for the “People for Peace Section”, can send the information electronically or forward it to the Communications Unit, Secretariat for Co-ordinating the Peace Process, 10th Floor, West Tower, World Trade Centre, Colombo 1.
