Indian High Commissioner in Sri Lanka Nirupama Rao praised President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga's decision to convene an all party National Advisory Council for Peace and Reconciliation as an excellent effort to usher peace into the country.

High Commissioner Rao who called on UPFA National Organiser, Presidential Senior Advisor and Tourism and Investment Promotion Minister Anura Bandaranaike at his Rosmead Place residence on Saturday morning said there is a manifest transparency and emphasis on regional cooperation in the Government's peace efforts and expressed confidence that the National Peace Advisory Council will receive the consensus of all political parties to find a joint solution to the country's ethnic problem.
