No change in aid policy says Japan
[Friday, February 01, 2008 - 11.25 GMT]
In a telephone conversation with Foreign Secretary Palitha Kohona,
Yasushi Akashi, the Japanese peace envoy, vehemently denied that Japan
was reconsidering its aid policy, vis-ŕ-vis, Sri Lanka, a Foreign
Ministry statement said today (February 1).
He confirmed that the aid policy remained unchanged. Japan, he said, was
very encouraged by the APRC proposals and was looking forward further
developments.
Akashi further said that he remained convinced of the assurances given
by the President with regard to Sri Lanka’s approach to the Peace
Process. He dismissed reports in some newspapers as a misrepresentation
of what he said at a recent press conference.
