Myanmar and Sri Lanka will cooperate in world parleys 15th June 2009

Myanmar and Sri Lanka have opted to work in mutual cooperation during international parleys.
The President held talks with Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council of the Union of Myanmar General Than Shwe yesterday. A banquet was hosted last night in honour of the President and his entourage at the State Leaders residence. The President during talks with the Myanmar State Leader said the priority of his Government was to create an atmosphere conducive for all people in Sri Lanka to live in peace and harmony. About 100,000 innocent lives were lost in 30 years of terrorism. The President appreciated the support given by Myanmar to crackdown on LTTE drug rackets and other illegal activities within the region. The Myanmar State Leader consented to visit Sri Lanka. Both leaders agreed to formulate the agreement signed between the two countries for direct air services in 1950 to suit the present needs. He also agreed to offer placements for two officials of Myanmar Armed Forces to be trained at the Kotalawela Defence Academy. The Myanmar State Leader opted to explore the possibility of providing marbles for the Pagodas that are to be built in the Nine Provinces in Sri Lanka.
