Indo-Lanka ties reach new high
Daily FT
|April 07, 2025
TIES between Sri Lanka and India have reached a new high following the successful visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who reinforced his country's commitment to strengthen relations aided by additional support.
-
After an eventful three days, Modi flew back in what was a historic visit, being the first global leader to set foot in Sri Lanka following the election of President Anura Kumara Disanayake and the NPP Government, whose members previously castigated the giant neighbour and her overtures to undermine Sri Lanka.
Be that as it may, the President Disanayake Government felt it fit to grant Modi the Sri Lanka Mitra Vibhushana' award in recognition of the latter's friendship and cooperation extended to the people of Sri Lanka.
In receiving the honour, Modi said the award "is a great honour" for him. Modi also emphasised that this is not only an award for him but for the 140 crore Indians. He expressed his gratitude to the President, the Government of Sri Lanka, and the people of Sri Lanka for this recognition.
He highlighted the historic ties and deep friendship between India and Sri Lanka, noting that his visit in 2019 occurred during a very sensitive period. He also mentioned that this visit was his fourth trip to Sri Lanka as Prime Minister.
Modi expressed confidence that Sri Lanka, given the bravery and resilience of its people, will recover and rise again stronger.
He stated that he is pleased to see Sri Lanka returning to the path of progress.
His visit underscored the enduring relationship encapsulated by the theme "Friendship of Centuries, Commitment to a Prosperous Future," further solidifying the bonds between India and Sri Lanka.
It was Modi's fourth visit to Sri Lanka, which has further enhanced the economic, cultural, and historical relations between the two nations, while also reinforcing their multifaceted partnership. This visit by the Indian Prime Minister reinforces Sri Lanka's important role in India's "Neighbourhood First Policy" and "MAHASAGAR" vision concerning diplomatic relations.
