'Last attempts' to save Geneva talks
 
Rambukwella taking office as a new minister
Govt. says transport arrangement was 'not explained properly'
The international truce monitors and the Norwegian government are in Kilinochchi trying to persuade the Tamil Tigers to change their stance on talks with the Sri Lanka government.

Head of Sri Lanka monitoring Mission (SLMM), Ulf Henricson, and first secretary of the Norwegian Embassy in Colombo are discussing proposals put forward by the GoSL.

Plan Implementation Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said that the officials are discussing government proposals in detail with regard to the air travel of LTTE eastern leaders.

“Unfortunately it is informed that Thamilselvan is not contactable at the moment, but these representatives will stay even overnight in order to hand over the comprehensive travel arrangement,” he told BBC Sandeshaya.

The minister expressed hope that the LTTE will accept the plan and the Geneva talks would go ahead.

“If otherwise we will have to take the next course of action.”
