COLOMBO, Tuesday (AFP) - Norwegian peace brokers left here Tuesday after talks with President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga ahead of arranging a face-to-face meeting between the Government and the LTTE, officials said.

Norway's Deputy Foreign Minister Vidar Helgesen and special envoy Erik Solheim are due in London for talks with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and the LTTE chief negotiator Anton Balasingham.

During their talks Monday, President Kumaratunga expressed opposition to an interim administration for the embattled regions although the government is set to discuss the issue during proposed talks in Thailand.
