US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Robert Blake will arrive here tomorrow on a five day visit.

He will go to Jaffna and Kilinochchi, where he will visit US funded project sites to assess their progress.
He will also meet TNA Parliamentary Group leader R. Sampanthan, government officials and civil society leaders as well as address a group of university students in Colombo.

He was scheduled to visit the country last month, but the trip was postponed due to Hurricane Irene that lashed the US East Coast.
