Sri Lankans dancers take part in the National Military Victory Celebrations in Colombo on June 3, 2009. Sri Lanka's president called for a 'new era' in foreign relations as the island staged a military parade to mark its victory over separatist Tamil Tiger rebels. President Mahinda Rajapakse, whose government has been threatened with a possible war crimes probe over the manner of its military success last month, presided over the celebrations.
