India has assured Sri Lanka that it will continue to engage with the island nation for building a stable, secure and prosperous environment in that country.

The Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh yesterday wrote a letter to President Mahinda Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka to say that India will work towards creating an environment in which all communities can flourish and in which India-Sri Lanka relations can continue to grow from strength to strength.

Talking on the resolution in the UN Human Rights Council, Dr.Singh said that India spared no efforts to ensure that UNHRC resolution is a balanced one.

The Prime Minister asserted that India has always favoured a political solution that will address all outstanding issues, in particular, the grievances of the Tamil community in Sri Lanka, in a spirit of understanding and mutual accommodation.

He said, a meaningful devolution package, building upon the 13th Amendment, will lead towards a lasting political settlement on many of these issues. Dr. Singh reiterated India's commitment to continue to be of assistance in the achievement of this important objective.
