Following the stalled talks, the TNA stated they would welcome "international facilitation" of any future talks with the government of Sri Lanka, if the government approved.
The TNA's media spokeperson, Suresh Premachandran, said,
“There is no favoured choice in this case. However, we are for an external facilitator if the government is willing,”
According to reports, TNA MPs Selvam Adaikkalanathan and P Sritharan have urged the US to take on this role.
