Congratulating President Rajapaksa on Sri Lanka winning the T20 World Cup, a visiting Pakistani official, stressed the country's 'continous and unflinching support to Sri Lanka at all forums', reported Daily Mirror.
President Rajapaksa reciprocated by thanking General Rashad Mahmood, Pakistan's Chairman Joint Chief of Staff Committee (CJCSC), for Pakistan's support at the UN Human Rights Council last month, whilst he visited Temple Trees on Monday.
According to the paper General Mahmood also called on the Minister of External Affairs, G.L. Peiris, and his counterpart, General Jagath Jaysuriya, before laying a wreath at the war memorial for Sri Lankan soldiers.
General Mahmood is to visit Sri Lankan army officers situated in Jaffna too, reports Uthayan.
