"To us all towns are one, all men our kin.
Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill
Man's pains and pains' relief are from within.
Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !."

Chandrika - LTTE Talks: 1994/95

Letter from Sri Lanka Deputy Defence Minister
to LTTE Leader

19 November 1994

Dear Mr. Pirabaharan,

We understand that the LTTE had declared a cessation of hostilities for a period of 07 days from 12th - 19th November. We regret that the decision to declare cessation of hostilities was not conveyed to us by you. We were informed about it indirectly by the ICRC on the 16th November.

Our government is prepared to declare a cessation of hostilities for an initial period of two weeks, commencing with immediate effect, providing you are willing to reciprocate by observing a cessation of hostilities on your part.

We would be thankful for an immediate reply.

With kind regards. Yours Sincerely.

Anuruddha Ratwatte
Deputy Minister of Defence
Minister for Irrigation & Power.
