The Sri Lankan government will establish a secretariat to coordinate activities of various players engaged in reconciliation.
The secretariat is expected to follow up progress on the implementation of recommendations made by various panels such as the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission and the Office of The High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) as well as coordinating with the Sri Lanka Human Rights Commission.
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.

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
