The Sri Lankan Cabinet is reviewing the government’s relationship with the Tigers.
Dec 04, Colombo: Visiting Norwegian special peace envoy Jon Hanssen-Bauer has postponed his planned visit to LTTE-held Kilinochchi to meet the LTTE leadership today.
A spokesperson for the Norwegian Embassy in Colombo said, "We had to postpone the scheduled visit of the visiting envoy to Kilinochchi after the government request to do so."
Yesterday, Government Peace Secretariat head Dr. Palitha Kohona asked Norway to suspend all contacts with the LTTE until the Sri Lankan Cabinet of Ministers reviewed the government’s relationship with the Tigers.
“I have told Norwegian Ambassador Hans Brattskar and Hanssen-Bauer that all contacts with the LTTE are under review by the government, and the Cabinet will decide on these issues on Wednesday,” Dr. Kohona said.
