Interesting to see both Indian and Pakistani top guns descending in Sri Lanka so frequently. Wonder what the occasion is.

A BIG THANK YOU must go to General Kayani for assisting Sri Lanka in defeating the most ruthless terrorist group in the world. He is a true friend of Sri Lanka.

Truth is Sri Lankan nation took a brave stand against terrorism and won the war. Credit goes to the Sri Lankan nation for standing bravely in front of the terror. Being a Pakistani I thank you for the invitation and hoping that both the nations will work together for the prosperity and welfare of our nations. Thanks

Warm Welcome, Sir! Your nation assisted in our crisis hour. We Lankans are grateful for your commitment!

Daud from Pakistan Wednesday, 19 January 2011 02:44 PM

Credit goes to the bravery of the Sri Lankan nation who stood united against the terror and were able to fix the problem. I thank the Sri Lankan nation for inviting us to their beloved home Sri Lankan. It is an honour for Pakistanis to meet our Sri Lankan friends. I pray that in future both the nations will work together for the welfare of our nations.

Hey, those days are gone when India considered Pakistan a competitor. It is China, that is a challenge.

Pakistan had always been positive about Sri Lanka and had been a good friend of us. Their help in our war cannot be forgotten easily. India on the other had groomed the terrorists until they learnt their own lesson. Pakistan and China will not have any double standards with Sri Lanka although India does all the time.
Will he take over the presidency from Zardari when he goes back?
