New Delhi: British Prime Minister David Cameron Thursday said he respected Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's decision of not attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meet (CHOGM) in Sri Lanka and said both countries shared with Canada the "same approach" towards Colombo.
"I totally respect the decision of India," Cameron told an Indian news channel.
The Indian prime minister last week decided not to attend the CHOGM meet being held in Sri Lanka after opposition from Tamil Nadu parties and even members of his cabinet from the southern state.
"India, Canada and Britain, we all have the same approach towards Sri Lanka. My own view about attending is it's a Commonwealth conference, I believe in helping to lead the organisations," said Cameron.
