India’s National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon said that Sri Lanka had expressed concern about Mauritius co-sponsoring the UNHRC resolution.
“Sri Lanka expressed concern that Mauritius had co-sponsored the resolution” Menon told media in New Delhi, speaking after the third Trilateral Meeting on Maritime Security Cooperation, between India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
Mauritius is set to join the maritime security group, prompting Sri Lanka to say that trust needed to be built between neighbours.
Mauritius pulled out of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Colombo last November, in protest at Sri Lanka's rights record.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
