Praising new Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "inspirational qualities of leadership", Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa said Monday that Colombo was one with New Delhi against terrorism.

In a message to Modi after he took oath as India's 14th prime minister, Rajapaksa said: "Your victory rewards your tireless commitment to serving the people of India. It recognizes your inspirational qualities of leadership and represents the hopes and aspirations of the Indian polity.

"In electing (you) as their prime minister, the people of India have unambiguously chosen the path of change, development and effective leadership," he added.

He said Indians had reposed "their steadfast faith in you, and on your party and its alliance partners, to preside over their destiny for the next five years with a strong and decisive mandate".

Rajapaksa said: "Today, we are united in our struggle against terrorism and nation building efforts.

"Our two countries enjoy a multifaceted relationship encompassing all areas of contemporary relevance, and India has emerged as a pre-eminent partner in development and commercial activities across Sri Lanka.

"I am confident that the warm and friendly relations that have long existed between our two countries will continue to be strengthened and consolidated under your able stewardship.

"I keenly look forward to working with you in close cooperation to realize this goal." (IANS)

politics is the main revenue generation mechanism in Sri Lanka. Not tea, coconut and rubber any more. So what's wrong with having more and more politician. We can earn more and more foreign currency no.. of course they can have 2 - 5 imported vehicles per person.. they deserve it because they bring in foreign currency.. not the people who leave their families and go to middle east..

Modi repeatedly said during his campaign and after he was elected minimum government maximum governance. Very wise words and in keeping with it he has trimmed the number of ministers. Here is a lesson for us in Sri Lanka. via DM iPad app

A prepared statement read out in New Delhi. Who was listening. Which Indian Media carried it.

Now praise the Indians but when Modi as expected turn against
Sri Lanka in the near future then Colombo will pretend to cry for
the Tamils and would call the IPKF as war criminals to please
the middle class Jaffna Tamils who really suffered at the hands
of the IPKF.

Modi must learn from MR - MAXIMUM GOVERNMENT, MINIMUM GOVERNANCE;!

Mason Tuesday, 27 May 2014 05:41 AM

United against terrorism, but divided against welfare of the Tamils.

kumar Tuesday, 27 May 2014 06:44 AM

But the west is united against war crimes.
