LTTE leader to
Sri Lanka Deputy Defence Minister
15 December 1994
Col. Anuruddha Ratwatte,
Deputy Minister of Defence
Minister of Irrigation, Power and Energy
Sri Lanka.
Dear Col. Ratwatte,
Thank you for your letter dated 13th December 1994.
We are impressed and encouraged by your assurance that the immediate and urgent issues
facing the Tamil people will be given primacy and resolved. This is crucialfor the
restoration of a peaceful environment and for the normalisation of civilian life.
We are pleased to note that you are willing to declare a cessation of hostilities on the
fist of January 1995, for an initial period of two weeks. We wish to assure you that we
will reciprocate by observing a cessation of hostilities during that period once you make
an Official declaration and intimate the same to us by letter. The LTTE will also make a
similar declaration and inform you.
You will appreciate that a detailed discussion clarifying the procedures and modalities of
the implementation of the ceased re is vial before the declaration of cessation of
hostilities. We are glad to note that you are prepared to send a delegation to Jaffna to
discuss this issue. The Government delegation is welcome to Jaffna either on the 21st or
22nd of December as is convenient to them. Please confrm the date of arrival and the names
and details of the Government delegates.
Thanking you.
Yours Sincerely.
(VPirabaharan)
Leader,
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
