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.
