Sri Lanka's President Maithripala Sirisena announced that he is to visit the North-East of the island next month, reports Daily News.
According to the government-owned website, Mr Sirisena is to chair a meeting at the Jaffna District Secretariat, which is expected to be attended by several politicians from the Northern Provincial Council, including Chief Minister CV Wigneswaran.
A resolution passed by the Northern Provincial Council earlier this month called on the United Nations to ensure an international investigation took place into the genocide of Tamils by the Sri Lankan government, stating “"Tamils have no hope for justice in any domestic Sri Lankan mechanism, whether conducted by the Rajapaksa regime, Sirisena regime, or its successor."
Whilst no comments were made on accountability, cabinet spokesman and Health Minister Dr Rajitha Senaratne said the issue of land was to be discussed “among others”. “He will pay special attention to ongoing development activities and future plans been formulated to benefit the people," added Dr Senaratne.
