Members of the international community are
urging the Sri Lankan government to move forward with reconciliation efforts
following the end of fighting with Tamil Tiger rebels.

U.S, China and Russia, welcomed an end to the fighting. All of them called on
the Sri Lankan government to address the concerns of the Tamil people and other
minorities.

country's rehabilitation.
Sri Lanka's army chief said (Tuesday) troops have positively identified

from a battlefield.
