The leader of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), R Sampanthan told the outgoing Japanese ambassador, Kenichi Suganuma that the current government had failed to take action on key points.
"Everything that should have been resolved has not been resolved," Sampanthan said, meeting with Suganuma on Friday in Colombo.
"Without a just solution [to the ethnic issue] through a new constitution, Sri Lanka cannot develop further," he added, highlighting that the economic hardship of ordinary people was increasing.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
