Norwegian special peace envoy Mr. Eric Solheim Tuesday held wide range of
discussion with Dr.Jayantha Dhanapala, Secretary General of the Peace
Secretariat of the Government of Sri Lanka regarding the prospects of
resuming peace talks between the GOSL and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
(LTTE).
The discussion, which lasted for about two hours, went into detail about
the recent development that had taken place on the ground situation,
sources said. Mr.Solheim is scheduled to meet other important leaders of the United
People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) government including the Prime Minister
Mr.Mahinda Rajapakse. Speculation has been rife in Colombo political
circles that Mr.Solheim would meet the President Ms Chandrika Kumaratunge
before he leaves to Killinochchi on Thursday to meet LTTE political head
Mr.S.P.Thamilchelvan.
