Ali Sabry congratulates Jaishankar

The foreign ministers of Sri Lanka and Maldives congratulated S Jaishankar on his second term as External Affairs Minister of India in the newly constituted cabinet of the BJP-led NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Sri Lankan Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali Sabry said that Jaishankar’s second term as EAM is a well-deserved recognition of his acumen in foreign relations. Sabry said he looks forward to working with him to enhance the ties between the two nations.

In a post on X, Ali Sabry stated, “Warmest congratulations @DrSJaishankar on being reappointed Minister of External Affairs of #India, a well-deserved recognition of your acumen in foreign relations. I look forward to working with you to enhance the deep-rooted traditional cooperation between #SriLanka and #India.”

While congratulating Jaishankar on his reappointment as External Affairs Minister of India, Maldives Minister of Foreign Affairs Moosa Zameer said he looked forward to working closely with him to enhance the ties between the two nations.

“Warm congratulations to @DrSJaishankar on your reappointment as the Minister of External Affairs of #India. I look forward to working closely with you to enhance our relationship and foster greater cooperation and shared prosperity between our two countries,” Moosa Zameer posted on X.

The two leaders’ statement comes after BJP leader S Jaishankar, who took oath as Union Cabinet Minister on Sunday at the swearing-in ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan, was named as the new External Affairs Minister in the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government.

Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu and Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe also attended PM Modi’s swearing-in ceremony.
