India and Sri Lanka should continue to work on shared developmental vision for regional peace & prosperity and welfare of the people: Rajnath Singh
Rajnath Singh emphasised that Prime Minister Amarasuriya is one of the role models for women not only in Sri Lanka but also in India, describing her as a symbol of women empowerment and Nari Shakti. He stated that India would like to encourage more women from Sri Lanka to benefit from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) scholarships and other Government of India initiatives to increase their participation in governance and leadership. He added that there have been several strong women leaders in India and Sri Lanka who have contributed to nation-building.
