Jan 09, Colombo: President Mahinda Rajapaksa today briefed Sri Lanka's Donor Co-Chairs on the government's view of the peace process and urged them to pressure the LTTE to renounce violence.

President Rajapaksa met with the Japanese Ambassador Akio Suda, European Union Ambassador Julian Wilson, United States Ambassador Jeffrey Lunstead, Norwegian Ambassador Hans Brattskar and Netherlands Ambassador Reynout van Dijk today at the Presidential Secretariat.

The Co-Chairs commended the President’s stance on peace despite recent unfortunate incidents and vowed to put pressure on the LTTE.

Earlier President Rajapaksa had explained that the government is committed to an honorable peace and warned the LTTE not to take his flexible policy for granted.

“We as a government still maintain a neutral policy over the LTTE’s crime. But it does not mean that our government is weaker,” he said at a public rally in Kalutara yesterday.
