The government would not send a response to the panel of advisors appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General on Sri Lanka, but would continue with the dialogue with the UN Secretary-General, External Affairs Minister Prof. G.L. Peiris said.

Minister made this comment in response to a question posed about the government's response to the Darusman report during a meeting of media heads at Temple Trees yesterday.

Prof. Peiris observed that the government of Sri Lanka never recognized the validity of the Darusman committee.

"We will keep the Secretary General informed of the reconciliation process initiated by the government and the whole gamut of steps taken by the government," the Minister said.
