President meets Pakistan PM   

 

President Mahinda Rajapaksa, currently attending the 40th anniversary commemoration of the Libyan Revolution met the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani in Tripoli, yesterday (Sep. 1).

Prime Minster Gilani stressed the need for effective dialogue between nations to strengthen ties and thereby pave the way to expand trade, economic and social cooperation.

While highly commending the efforts taken by the Sri Lankan government to eliminate terrorism, Prime Minister Gilani said that the manner in which the resettlement process is carried out in Sri Lanka is remarkable and provides a powerful example to all nations facing similar situations.

The two leaders discussed the possibility of introducing an information technology programme similar to the E- Nenasala, IT programme in Sri Lanka with the objective of taking the benefits of emerging technology to rural areas in Pakistan.
