The co-chairs of the Tokyo donor conference will meet in New York tomorrow for what the Norwegian peace facilitators described as an extraordinary meeting on the security situation in Sri Lanka Norwegian peace facilitators summoned the meeting after the failure of the government and the LTTE to agree on a venue for talks on a review of the ceasefire agreement.

Norway, Japan, European Union and United States are expected to discuss the deteriorating security situation in the back drop of routine ceasefire violations by the LTTE.

Former Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission chief Trond Furuhovde will also visit the island early next month to consult the government and the LTTE on strengthening the ceasefire agreement, which has been hit by a string of political killings and attacks on Security Forces.

Furuhovde's visit comes after the government and the LTTE failed to agree on a venue for the ceasefire talks.

A peace secretariat official told the Sunday Observer that the government was awaiting the former SLMM chief, who would play a mediation role in reviewing the ceasefire agreement.
