Asoka Girihagama, Madukande Asoka Kumara Girihagama, is the former Sri Lankan Ambassador to Canada. Prior to the appointment he was the Ambassador to Oman and a Director General for the Sri Lanka Overseas Service.
In June 2019, Canadian MPs unanimously supported a motion calling for an independent investigation into genocide claims, which Girihagama publicly rejected, asserting that Sri Lanka had already addressed these issues through the UN. He characterized his role as challenging, particularly in convincing Canadian leaders of the absence of genocide in Sri Lanka.
