Australian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Ms Robyn Mudie has visited Jaffna and met with Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran.

The Australian High Commissioner has discussed the latest developments in the North with the Chief Minister.
A wide range of issues were reportedly discussed, but the details were not immediately made available to the media.

Australia has been a strong critic of attempts to launch an international investigation in the country over the human rights issue.

However, the Australian government has also said it will push Sri Lanka to implement the recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) and to engage with domestic and international stakeholders to advance an effective and transparent reconciliation agenda.
