Norway names new Lanka peace envoy
Norway appointed a new peace envoy yesterday to help mediate between Sri Lanka's government and Tamil Tiger rebels after a conflict in which 64,000 people have died.
Foreign ministry peace expert Jon Hanssen-Bauer, 53, would take over from Erik Solheim, who became Norway's International Development Minister in October 2005 after six years focused only on Sri Lanka.
