Japanese envoy optimistic on Sri Lanka peace prospects
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - Japanese government envoy Yasushi Akashi (fore) is in talks with leaders of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in northern Sri Lanka on Nov. 8. Back in Colombo later in the day, Akashi expressed strong optimism on the prospects of ending Asia's longest-running ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka. ''Everybody is astonished by the degree of progress of the Norwegian-brokered efforts to end two decades of war costing over 65,000 lives,'' Akashi told a press conference at the end of his six-day visit.
