While appreciating the efforts of the Sri Lankan government in defeating the menace of terrorism from Sri Lankan Soil, Pakistan reiterated its continuous and unflinching support to Sri Lanka at all forums.

Visiting Pakistan's Chairman Joint Chief of Staff Committee (CJCSC) General Rashad Mahmood made this remark during a meeting with President Mahinda Rajapaksa today at Temple Trees.

During the meeting, General Rashad Mahmood conveyed best wishes and warm regards from the President and Prime Minister of Pakistan, to President Mahinda Rajapaksa,as well as Government and people of Sri Lanka.

He said that Pakistan and Sri Lanka are historically bonded in a relationship of trust, mutual respect and deep friendship, which is reflected in the strong multifaceted relationship between the two countries. He congratulated the President on winning the T20 Cricket World Cup.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa appreciated the strong support extended by the Government of Pakistan to Sri Lanka during the recent session of UNHRC. He said Pakistan has proved to be a true friend of Sri Lanka and the Sri Lankan government as well as the people have deep affection for Pakistan.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa also acknowledged Pakistan’s support during Sri Lanka’s war against terrorism.

The CJCSC also called on Minister for External Affairs Sri Lanka, Prof. G.L. Peiris. The Minister also greatly appreciated Pakistan’s support during the UNHRC session and briefed the General on various developments related to the UNHRC process in Geneva. Other issues of mutual interest also came under discussion. It was agreed that the economic relationship between the two countries need to be further expanded and strengthened.

Earlier in the day, the CJCSC called on his counterpart Gen. Jagath Jaysuriya, Chief of Defence Staff Sri Lankan Armed Forces. They reviewed ongoing defence collaboration, beside identifying new areas to further deeper and broaden the already strong defence relationship.

Our bond with Pakistan comes from our deep seeded common hatred of India and all things Indian.
India has been harassing us for thousands of years, all the way from Chola raids and puppet kingdoms to stealing our fish today. This distrust will last forever and rightfully so. via DM Android App

This is a good time to get the help of Pakistan to influence Kabul in offering the bowl of the Buddha now in the Kabul museum. India has already approached Kabul in procuring it. Sri Lanka should use her alliance with Islamabad to get it. India already has the Kapilavastu relics in a majority Hindu nation. The begging bowl of the Buddha would be a relic of equal significance as the tooth in the Dalada Maligawa.
