The Chief of the World Muslim Congress Dr. Omar Abdullah Bin Nasif has commended the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa as the best friend of the Muslim people in Asia.
Dr. Nasif, who met the President Rajapaksa shortly after the 80th World Muslim Congress held recently in Colombo, has stated this.
During the discussion the World Muslim Congress Chief has lauded the development programmes launched by the Government headed by President Rajapaksa.
He specially appreciated the President's resolve to fight terrorism and usher in peace to Sri Lanka.
Dr. Nasif has stated that many delegates harboured a wrong notion that Sri Lanka was not a safe place to visit following the various false allegations by various parties who were trying to succeed in their personal agendas.
However according to Mr. Nasif, such misconceptions had been effaced during the few days they spent here.
President Rajapaksa thanked Dr. Abdullah for conducting the Muslim Congress sessions in Colombo. He told the delegates that Sri Lanka would soon open a mission in Palestine.
He said certain elements who detested his close links with the Muslim world were spreading false propaganda around the world. This almost amounts to a betrayal of the motherland. However, he added that at any cost he would not abandon the quest for peace. He also appreciated the assistance extended by Middle East countries for development projects in Sri Lanka.
