The Ceylon Workers Congress (CWC) has proposed a special administration region in the north and east on the lines of Hong Kong to resolve the ethnic crisis.
The CWC position on the ethnic conflict was adopted at the party convention presided by Minister Arumugam Thondaman on Sunday in Chilaw.
In adopting the party position, the CWC also recalled the Hong Kong model solution proposed by the former leader Saumyamoorthy Thondaman.
In adopting the resolution the CWC recalled that a special administrative region in respect of Hong Kong coming within the purview of the People’s Republic of China shall be an admirable solution that has led to two systems in one nation and that a similar system in Sri Lanka would effectively meet the aspirations of the Tamil people in the north and east.
"A negotiated settlement in the format of the Hong Kong special administrative region can see an end to the on going shooting war that continues to decimate young lives on both sides of the ethnic divide," the CWC resolved.
The CWC also called on both the Government and the LTTE to cease hostilities and enter into meaningful and unreserved negotiations in order to bring peace and spur the economy for the benefit of the people.
