Government cautious on LTTE ceasefire offer

Seeks firm commitment on demobilization

 
“We would like to see a firm commitment on the part of the LTTE for a settlement of this conflict and a similar commitment to a demobilization process.

“We have experienced the LTTE’s cease fire offers earlier, which were used to regroup and rearm, creating greater havoc than before,” said Dr. Palitha Kohona, Foreign Secretary.

The Foreign Secretary made this official announcement after the Royal Norwegian Government formally informed Sri Lanka of the LTTE’s declaration of a unilateral ceasefire from July 26 to August 4, 2008, for the SAARC Summit.
