QUESTIONER: We’re going around the world today, but I was wondering if you have any update on Sri Lanka. I believe a mission is returning to Sri Lanka for discussions. And, while I’m around there, Pakistan, I also believe a mission is going to Pakistan. On both occasions, what are the discussions going to center on?

MS. ATKINSON: I can come back to you on that on Sri Lanka. We did have a mission, a mission there, but I don’t believe that there is a mission there right now. But discussions are continuing, and the finalization of the program, as with any other program, would of course depend on the Executive Board. We don’t have a date for an Executive Board meeting at present on Sri Lanka.

On Pakistan, there will be a mission. I believe it begins over this weekend or early next week. I won’t have news for you until the mission has had those discussions with the authorities.

On Sri Lanka, I’m sorry; the second part of the question is what is the status of Sri Lanka’s loan application? As you know, I think there was a mission to Sri Lanka, following up on earlier discussions that came back recently. I think they had good discussions with the authorities. We’ll, of course, let you know whenever we have anything in particular or specific to announce.

An Executive Board meeting, because the first thing that happens is a staff-level agreement, then an Executive Board meeting would be where all of the international community’s views would be considered.
