Sri Lanka in new bid to restart peace talks
Tuesday, 21 December 2004 - 8:51 PM SL Time

The government of President Chandrika Kumaratunga has made the offer through peace broker Norway to try to end the 20-month impasse in negotiations, the Tamil-language Sudar Oli newspaper said.

It said Norway`s special envoy Erik Solheim conveyed Colombo`s new proposal to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief negotiator, Anton Balasingham, during a meeting in London Monday. London-based Balasingham declined to give details but told the newspaper that Tiger supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran was expected to respond shortly to the latest offer.
