Sri Lanka enjoys good bilateral relations with India despite the anti-Lanka protests in Tamil Nadu, President Mahinda Rajapaksa said. Replying to a question on reported tensions in Tamil Nadu vis a vis Sri Lanka, Rajapaksa said that he would welcome the politicians from the state to visit Sri Lanka and witness first hand progress on Island.
“We have always had good relations with India and we have always acted to promote the goodwill,” Rajapaksa said while addressing the local media.
He recalled that Tamil Nadu politicians who had visited Sri Lanka in the past had expressed satisfaction over the ground situation here.
The President, however, said despite the protests the relationship with India as a whole has not been affected, PTI reports.
