A press release from the UN Information Centre said the Secretary-General congratulated the PM on the organization of the AI Impact Summit and expressed his deep appreciation for India’s cooperation with the United Nations.
The ceremonial departure took place at Bandaranaike International Airport in the presence of Sri Lankan Ministers and the High Commissioner of India to Sri Lanka.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, he said the developments in Sri Lanka, particularly the continued and systematic efforts to deny any political power and self-governance to the Tamil people, are fundamentally contrary to the values India has consistently championed across the world.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), PM Modi conveyed that the people of India stand in firm solidarity with the people of Sri Lanka in this hour of need.
