British official to meet Chandrakanthan
Eastern Province Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan is expected to meet British Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs for Africa, Asia and the UN, Lord Mark Malloch-Brown. The British official is scheduled to arrive in Colombo today (14) on a four-day official visit.
During his visit Lord Malloch-Brown is scheduled to hold discussions with President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe, and several other government officials.
The meeting with Chandrakanthan is expected to take place in Trincomalee. Recently, a high level EU delegation declined to meet Chandrakanthan, an ex-LTTE cadre and the leader of the breakaway LTTE faction.
This is Lord Malloch-Brown’s first visit to Sri Lanka after becoming State Minister. He has visited Sri Lanka twice before as Deputy Secretary-General of the UN.
