COLOMBO: The Foreign Secretaries of India and Sri Lanka on Monday discussed bilateral issues, including tsunami rehabilitation, defence cooperation, the Sethusamudram project and the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation agreement. The discussions, led by Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran and his Sri Lankan counterpart H.M.G.S. Palihakkara, included a "frank exchange of views" on the developments in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, regional and international affairs, an official Indian statement said. In the health sector, the two sides discussed the proposed establishment of a cancer centre and other projects. The important issues to Sri Lanka now are India's possible role in the post-tsunami reconstruction, particularly in the northern and eastern districts which are partly under the control of the LTTE and a proposed defence cooperation agreement . Earlier in the day, Mr. Saran had a "cordial exchange of views" with Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse. He is scheduled to meet President Chandrika Kumaratunga on Tuesday
