Sri Lanka and India have shown over the years an abiding commitment to fostering the friendship that has been sustained between our people for centuries. It is a source of pride and joy that Indo-Sri Lanka relations have today attained an even higher level of excellence with bilateral cooperation extending to a greater number of spheres of human activity. These strong bonds of friendship will, no doubt, immensely strengthen in the years of come.

Let me take this opportunity to extend to Your Excellency, my personal good wishes for your continued success, good health and happiness.

 I extend with great pleasure my personal good wishes on the happy occasion of the Republic of India which falls on 26^th January 2011.

Our people have continued to enjoy a deep and abiding friendship based on common civilizational bonds and shared historical experiences.

It is a source of immense satisfaction that these bonds of friendship have today evolved into a comprehensive, multifaceted partnership. Last year, the State visit to India of His Excellency President Rajapaksa as well as Your Excellency’s visit to Sri Lanka were important landmarks in further enhancement of Indo-Sri Lanka ties. Our bond of friendship would, no doubt, evolve and grow in the years ahead.

 Let me take this opportunity to extend to Your Excellency, my personal good wishes for your continued success, good health and happiness.
