“ஜனாதிபதி திசாநாயக்க அவர்களால் இன்றைய தினம் ‘இலங்கை மித்ர விபூஷண்’ என்ற விருது எனக்கு வழங்கப்பட்டமை மகத்தான பெருமைக்குரிய விடயமாகும். இந்த உயரிய கௌரவம் எனக்கே மட்டும் உரித்தான ஒன்றல்ல, இந்தியாவின் 1.4 பில்லியன் மக்களுக்கும் கிடைக்கப்பெற்ற உயர் மரியாதையாகும். அத்துடன் இந்திய – இலங்கை மக்களிடையிலான வரலாற்று ரீதியான உறவுகள் மற்றும் ஆழ வேரூன்றிக் காணப்படும் நட்புறவை இது குறித்து நிற்கின்றது. இந்த கௌரவத்துக்காக இலங்கை ஜனாதிபதி, அரசாங்கம் மற்றும் மக்கள் அனைவருக்கும் எனது இதயபூர்வமான நன்றியை தெரிவித்துக்கொள்கின்றேன்.
