Travel to Belgium

Deputy Secretary Richard L. Armitage will travel to Brussels, Belgium on January 26, 2005 for consultations with fellow donor co-chairs of the Tokyo Conference on Reconstruction and Development of Sri Lanka on the current status of the peace process in Sri Lanka. Other participants will represent the governments of Norway, Japan and the European Union. The donor co-chairs will review their assistance efforts, discuss humanitarian and basic reconstruction assistance to those areas of Sri Lanka affected by the war, and express support for a resumption of peace talks between the government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, which have been suspended since April 2003. They will also discuss how their assistance efforts may be refined in light of the December 26, 2004 tsunami that devastated coastal areas of Sri Lanka and took more than 38,000 lives.
