§ Mr. BaldryI visited Sri Lanka on 14 to 16 November 1994. I was able to discuss with Ministers there the content of the aid programme in Sri Lanka which aims to reduce poverty; tackle environmental problems; strengthen human resource development; and promote good government. I was also able to see some of the relief and rehabilitation projects for families affected by the disturbances in the north and east which are financed by aid.
