Swaraj called on Singh last evening to apprise him of the details of the 12-member delegation's visit to Sri Lanka and meeting with the leaders and officials there. National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon and Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai were present during the meeting.
"I would say I am satisfied with our visit to Sri Lanka," the BJP leader told reporters today. The delegation met representatives of all political parties in Sri Lanka and visited the rehabilitation camp for Tamils.
Swaraj said the delegation met the women and children living in the camp as the men were away at work. She said the rehabilitation efforts were good and ahead of schedule.
There are three lakh displaced Tamils in Sri Lanka of which only 3,000 have not been rehabilitated.
Swaraj also had a one-on-one breakfast meeting with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksha.
