Minister Peiris tells Tamil Expatriates:

Help rebuild

External Affairs Minister Prof. G. L. Peiris on an official visit in USA urged the Tamil expatriates worldwide to get involved in the rehabilitation process in Sri Lanka expedited with the end of LTTE terrorism.

Speaking from the UN Headquarters in New York, Minister Peiris told the BBC that the Government is stepping up efforts to resettle displaced Tamil people.

"Well as far as the diaspora are concerned our hope very much is that they would involve themselves constructively in the efforts that are now being made to rebuild the North and East of the country," the BBC reported quoting the Minister.

"There is a great deal of valuable work for them to do and the whole thrust of the Government's initiative is inclusive. We want to involve the people of the North and the East and the diaspora," he added. Prof Peiris further said an economic renaissance was improving people's lives all over Sri Lanka.

"And what we are seeing is a kind of economic renaissance, a revival of economic life in those parts of the country which have been affected by the war which has gone for the better part of two decades," he said. Minister Peiris is scheduled to meet Secretary of State Hilary Clinton Friday.
