In a gesture of recognition and admiration, the Leader of the Opposition, Douglas Tomuriesa, has conveyed heartfelt congratulations to West New Britain Governor, Hon. Sasindran Muthuvel, for being honored with one of India’s highest civilian distinctions earlier this year.
Governor Muthuvel stood among 104 distinguished recipients of India’s prestigious accolades, marking a remarkable achievement for Papua New Guinea. Among these esteemed individuals, Mr. Muthuvel was one of only two foreigners bestowed with this honor. He was awarded the Padma Shri for his exceptional leadership in advocating closer cooperation between India and the Pacific region. Scheduled to receive the award later this month in New Delhi, India, Governor Muthuvel joins a select group comprising former presidents, judges, activists, artists, and spiritual leaders who have received this esteemed recognition. Mr. Tomuriesa expressed his sincere congratulations, emphasizing the significance of Governor Muthuvel's achievement not only for himself and his family but also for the people of Papua New Guinea. He lauded the Governor's unwavering commitment to his constituents and his exemplary efforts in strengthening PNG-India relations. Governor Muthuvel's consistent reelection since 2012 underscores his dedication to serving his people, alongside his notable endeavors as a legislator and minister. Mr. Tomuriesa commended the Governor's multifaceted contributions, including his initiative to translate the classic Tamil text, ‘Thirukkural,’ into Tok Pisin, a testament to his efforts in fostering cultural ties between the two nations. Mr. Tomuriesa reiterated his congratulations to Governor Muthuvel and extended well wishes for a safe journey to India and back for the award ceremony. Also read Comments are closed.
