“We are baffled as to why the LTTE is still not ready to come to the table to re-start negotiations,” said Samaraweera.

The government’s proposals however will not be available for public scrutiny until it is presented to the LTTE - despite the setting up of a National Council for Peace and Reconciliation (NCPR) for greater public involvement in the process.

“The government’s proposals will not be available to the public.

Not before we give it to the LTTE,” said Samaraweera.

Despite mounting international pressure to get peace negotiations moving again the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE have not sat down together for face-to-face talks since April 2003.
