A working group of the
Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) starting today is working on a set of
mechanisms and rules on preventing further sea clashes.
“These will be adopted by the government
and the LTTE to prevent further sea incidents”,
SLMM spokesman Teitur Torkelsson said.
“During the last session of peace talks
in Hakone Japan, both parties agreed that effective measures were needed to
avoid such incidents. They agreed they have to adhere to existing treaty
obligations”, he added.
Torkelsson said the
working group was drawing up proposals to the parties regarding sea rules
taking past incidents into consideration. He said that senior naval
representatives from both sides were part of the group.
