Minister of Foreign Affairs Rohitha Bogollagama says that the government has decided to suspend the attacks against LTTE for a short period of time so as to provide humanitarian aid to the civilians stranded in the conflict area and to open several safe passages for them to move into the state-administered areas.
 
The Foreign Minister said that the UN had requested the government for an action of this sort and as a positive response to it the military attacks would be suspended temporarily. He urged the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (LTTE) to free the civilians. He said that the government would be vigilant since the Tamil Tigers also could enter the state-administered areas together with the civilians.

The Minister further said that the government would decide in future the time frame of the suspension of attacks.
