United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-moon arrived in Sri Lanka on Wednesday on a three-day official visit, the Foreign Ministry said.

During his visit, the UN chief is expected to meet Sri Lanka's President Maithripala Sirisena, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, and other members of the government and the parliament.

Ban Ki-moon's spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said the UN chief is likely to discuss the issue of having foreign judges in Sri Lanka's domestic accountability process on the war.

The secretary general will also visit the southern town of Galle as well as Jaffna in the north, before concluding his visit on Sept. 2.
