Sri Lanka sets up yet another reconciliation co-ordination body

The Sri Lankan government will establish a secretariat to coordinate activities of various players engaged in reconciliation.

The latest secretariat is to also be tasked with developing plans with recently set up institutions such as Office on Missing  Persons, the Truth Reconciliation and Prevention of Conflicts Commission and the Office for National Unity and Reconciliation, reports The Hindu.
