COLOMBO: An all-party meeting convened by Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse on Thursday evening unanimously decided that steps should be taken to resume "immediate talks" between the Government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
"The parties agreed that there was a need to resume talks immediately and that steps should be taken to that effect," a senior presidential aide told The Hindu .
The all-party meeting was called by Mr. Rajapakse as part of his efforts to work towards a southern consensus on resuming the stalled peace talks with the LTTE.
Key political leaders including Ranil Wickremesinghe, Leader of Opposition and former Prime Minister; Somawanse Amarasinghe, leader of Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna; G.L. Peiris, former chief negotiator; and leaders from other political parties participated in the meeting.
