India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar yesterday reiterated his country’s strong support to Sri Lanka in the fight against terrorism.

Dr. Jaishankar, who is in Bangkok to attend the ASEAN-India Ministerial Meeting, yesterday held bilateral discussions with his Sri Lankan counterpart Minister Tilak Marapana on a range of key issues, including the fight against terrorism.

“An important neighbour, a valuable friend. Warm meeting with FM @MFA_SriLanka Tilak Marapana. Reiterated our strong support in the fight against terrorism,” he tweeted.

Ten years after Sri Lanka eliminated Tamil Tiger terrorism, a series of suicide bombings in churches and hotels in the island by the National Thowheed Jamath – a local militant Islamic group – on Easter Sunday killed 258 people, including 47 foreign nationals.
