Sri Lanka has conferred its highest civilian award, the Mithra Vibhushana, on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in recognition of his role in strengthening the ties between the two countries.
The award was bestowed on Modi by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake at a ceremony held at the presidential secretariat.
“It is a matter of great pride for me to be awarded the ‘Sri Lanka Mitra Vibhushana’ by President Dissanayake. This award does not only honour me, but also honours 140 crore Indians,” Modi said.
“It is a tribute to the historic ties and deep friendship between the people of India and Sri Lanka,” he said.

So it’s now clear that @narendramodi Ji will have to be given the ‘HIGHEST’ civilian award of #Manipur for him to visit the state. Why? Because from Sri Lanka to Guyana, ModiJi will visit every country that gives him an award. Never mind attending Parliament or visiting Manipur. pic.twitter.com/3oI071ff7t
