The government would not take measures to decriminalize homosexuality in Sri Lanka, State Minister Lakshman Yapa said.
He expressed this view while speaking at a press conference held in Colombo on Tuesday.
Yapa also went on to say the authorities have decided to remove several terms of the action plan with respect of receiving the GSP+ concession back to the country.
The State Minister noted a decision was made to entirely remove 6-1 to 6-8 points in the plan.
He also said the EC has not imposed any conditions to obtain the GSP+ tax concession. However, an action plan is in place, he added.
