Japan on the peace process

The Government of Japan is disappointed with the reported position taken by the LTTE with regard to its participation in the Tokyo Conference on Reconstruction and Development of Sri Lanka scheduled on 9-10 June, 2003, a press release from the Embassy of Japan stated.

This conference is a ministerial-level meeting bringing together a large number of countries and international organisations and its preparations have already advanced to a high level, thanks to laborious efforts by the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and the UN System, the release states.

Yasushi Akashi, representative of the government of Japan explained to the leadership of the LTTE in their meeting on May 7 that the conference is intended to provide a unique and precious opportunity in which the international community would express its unified and strong commitment to reconstruction and development of the entirety of Sri Lanka particularly of the war torn North and East, with a view to accelerating the peace process.
