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.
