President Mahinda Rajapaksa went out of his way to brief India on the developments of the war to avoid misinterpretations, Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa said a short while ago addressing the international seminar, ‘Defeating Terrorism - The Sri Lanka Experience’.
The Defence Secretary who is currently making the key note speech praised President Rajapaksa for establishing a clear high level communication stream between the two nations. He added that while other nations could mount pressure on Sri Lanka through diplomatic channels and economic lines only India could directly influence the military campaign in Sri Lanka. President Rajapaksa understood this and managed it well, Gotabaya added.
