Colombo, Nov 12: Talks between Sri Lanka's President and Prime Minister ended here today without any agreement on ending their bitter power struggle, sources on both sides told reporters. President Chandrika Kumaratunga and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe met behind closed-doors for nearly two and a half hours but neither side showed signs of compromise, the sources said.
However, both agreed to issue a joint statement later saying they met and plan to have another round of talks next week inviting leaders of minority parties supporting Wickremesinghe's government.
