It was reported that during the meeting with the Sri Lankan President the Indian Prime Minister had stressed the need of expediting the process of reconciliation while fully implementing the 13th Amendment to the constitution. 

"It was a very successful meeting. But It is not the practice to release in public what the two leaders had discussed," the Minister had said.

."Some suggested that we will have problems with the BJP government unlike with the Congress government. All these have been proved wrong," de Silva had added.

He also said that Sri Lanka welcomed the appointment of Sushma Swaraj as the new External Affairs Minister.

As a politician who led an Indian Parliamentary delegation to Sri Lanka, the Minister said, she was well aware of Sri Lanka's situation.
