| Sri Lanka will seek India's help in ending its 18-year civil war with Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam separatists. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will raise the issue when he travels to India later this week on his first overseas tour since taking office in the island nation this month. "We want the Indians to get more involved in bringing about a settlement to the ethnic crisis," Fernando said. "They are a very big country, our closest neighbor and a great power in the world." |
