With the war in Sri Lanka getting over, India today asked Colombo to utilise the opportunity to make a "new beginning" and build a better future for the countrymen, including ethnic Tamils, through an inclusive political process.
External Affairs Minister S M Krishna, in a statement in Parliament, said India stands ready to extend every possible assistance in the task of rehabilitation, resettlement and reconstruction and in this regard, will deploy four demining teams as an immediate step.
"The cessation of hostilities gives Sri Lanka an opportunity to make a new beginning and to build a better future for all her peoples and therefore for the region as a whole," he said in the statements in the two Houses.
