A group of US senators have submitted a resolution requesting economic assistance and advice to Sri Lanka.
Senators Bob Menendez, Dick Durbin, Patrick Lehigh and Cory Booker have tabled the proposal before the US Congress.
The resolution supports the peaceful democratic and economic aspirations of the Sri Lankan people and calls on the Sri Lankan security forces to respect the legitimate rights of Sri Lankans, including peaceful protest.
And on behalf of all Sri Lankans, President Ranil Wickremesinghe is requested to work with opposition parties, including Tamils, Muslims, and other religious and ethnic minorities.
