Talks between Indian and Sri Lankan fishermen held in Colombo ended yesterday evening with no breakthrough, Fisheries Ministry spokesman Narendra Rajapaksa said.
He said that Sri Lankan fishermen maintained their stand and rejected requests by the Indians to be allowed to fish in Sri Lankan waters.The Sri Lankan fishermen had said that while allowing such a move will affect their day to day livelihood and fishing resources, it will also be a violation of international maritime laws.
The talks which began yesterday morning continued till late evening as both sides failed to reach an agreement.
