Christina Rocca to visit Sri Lanka

US Assistant Secretary of State Christina Rocca is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka on May 12 and 13 at the invitation of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

She is part of the delegation of Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage visiting Afghanistan, India and Pakistan and will visit Sri Lanka at the conclusion of those visits. Deputy Secretary of State Armitage will lead the US delegation to the Tokyo Conference on Reconstruction and Development of Sri Lanka to be held in June which is being co-chaired by the US.

Ms. Rocca's visit signifies the continuing support of the US Government to the peace process. This visit follows her earlier visit to Sri Lanka in March last year.

Rocca is scheduled to meet the Prime Minister, Foreign Minister Tyronne Fernando and members of the negotiating team including Ministers G. L. Peiris, Milinda Moragoda and Rauf Hakeem.
