New Delhi, Dec 30 (UNI) The newly-constituted Joint Working Group of India and Sri Lanka to find a solution to the vexed issue of fishermen, will have its first meeting here tomorrow before a ministerial meeting of both the sides on January 2 in Colombo.

The Ministerial-level meeting will be co-chaired by Agriculture Minister from the Indian side and Fisheries Minister from Sri Lanka, MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said. India and Sri Lanka are determined to put in place a mechanism soon to resolve the sensitive fishermen issue. The meeting comes amid frequent incidents of Sri Lankan Navy personnel firing at Indian fishermen fishing in the Palk Strait and seizing their boats.
