UNICEF Head pays courtesy visit to Head of LTTE Political Wing
Newly appointed head of UNICEF-Sri Lanka, Philippe Duamelle, paid a courtesy visit to the Head of LTTE Political Wing, B Nadeson, at the LTTE Political Head Quarters.
 The UNICEF Head said that his visit was an introductory meeting with the Political Head. Among the topics discussed were the work of United Nations in general in the Tamil homeland and the program of releasing under-18 persons in the LTTE. Nadeson assured UNICEF of the continued cooperation of the LTTE with UNICEF in all aspects of the work of the UNICEF and urged UNICEF to do its part in this partnership. 
The discussion also included the LTTE work in ending under-18 persons in the organization. Pointing to the delay by UNICEF in completing its part in this program, Nadeson called on the UNICEF Head to ensure that UNICEF carry out its part in verifying the under-18 persons released by the LTTE and also in doing its part to reunite the released children with their families. Nadeson informed the Head of UNICEF that by the end of this year LTTE will announce that there are no more under-18 persons in the organization and UNICEF must be ready to do its part to complete its role in this program so that it too can remain in sync in its statement. The children being killed and injured by the aerial bombing and claymore attacks of the Sri Lanka were also discussed at the meeting. Both expressed the opinion that the meeting was very constructive.
