The former Norwegian peace envoy to Sri Lanka Erik Solheim met Tamil National Alliance parliamentarians M A Sumanthiran and R Shanakiyan in Colombo yesterday.
Stating that the two were “old friends” of his, Solheim said they had an “sxciting discussion on the way forward for Sri Lanka - economic recovery, green developments and political reform”.
The meeting comes after Soheim was named “International Climate Adviser” to current Sri Lankan president Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Solheim also met with former Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa, a man who stands accused of overseeing war crimes that Solhiem said he would be willing to give evidence on before an international court.
