France will never support terrorism

The French Embassy in Colombo affirmed that France will never support any form of terrorism and confirmed that the French Postal Service ‘La Poste’ has apologised to the Sri Lankan Embassy in Paris for issuing pro-LTTE stamps.

“France strongly condemns all forms of terrorism throughout the world and the French government could in no way have supported an initiative aiming at backing the LTTE, a movement which have been listed since 2006 as a terrorist organizati0n by the European Union,” French Ambassador to Sri Lanka Christine Robichon has told Daily Mirror.

“I can also confirm that La Poste has apologised to the Sri Lankan Embassy in Paris for their error,” the Ambassador said.
