COLOMBO (AFP) - Former US president

Bill Clinton will visit Sri Lanka this weekend on his second post-tsunami tour of the region and this time as a UN special envoy, the
United Nations said.

Clinton will be making his second visit Saturday to Sri Lanka in three months, but this time he will be touring the island as the UN's special envoy for tsunami recovery, said a UN statement released in Colombo.

President Clinton is eager to keep everyone focused on results, transparency and accountability, not just to the donors whose generosity was unprecedented but above all to the millions of people who were affected by the tsunami," the statement said on Tuesday.

In February he accompanied former US president George Bush and travelled to the island's southern coastal district of Matara. That visit was as a representative of US President George W. Bush.
