Sri Lanka’s new Government is a valued partner with whom India is expanding bilateral cooperation, Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj says.
“Where Sri Lanka is concerned, the new Government is a valued partner with whom we are expanding bilateral cooperation, while addressing the ethnic problem,” she said while speaking at an event in New Delhi.
“Foreign policy begins on our borders and quite appropriately, we embarked on a ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy from the very inception of our tenure. You will recall the invitation extended to our neighbourhood leaders to attend the swearing in of the Government. Since then, considerable progress has been made in these key relationships,” she added.
