France praises Govt. decision on IDPs

 
The French authorities commended the Sri Lankan government's move to empty the welfare centres for displaced civilians in the North by the end of January 2010.

"The announcement by the Sri Lankan government to free without delay the last displaced persons and to definitively close the camps in January 2010 is a positive development," reported KUNA quoting a statement from government of France.

"France calls for the rapid re-installation of these families in their initial villages in good material and security conditions." The statement also urged the Sri Lankan authorities to "open a constructive, political dialogue with all populations on the island" and to adopt a "policy of reconciliation".
